Fort Lauderhill (Florida), Pakistan captain Babar Azam, surrounded by criticism, has not yet thought of leaving the captaincy despite his team being out of the group stage in the T20 World Cup and he has insisted that no one will take issue with the matter. The decision will also be taken only after discussion with his cricket team. Plank.
The 2009 champions and finalists of the 2007 and 2022 editions, lost to USA and India in their first two matches and were eliminated from the tournament before the Super Eights.
After facing heavy criticism, when the Pakistani captain was asked if he had any plans to resign, he hit back.
“When I go back we will discuss everything that happened here.And if I have to leave the captaincy, this decision, I will tell you openly. I won't announce anything behind the scenes. Whatever happens, it will be in front of you," Babar said after Pakistan ended their group league campaign with a tight three-wicket win over Ireland.
Babar said that it was the Pakistan Cricket Board that had reinstated him and whether he would continue or not would be their decision.
“I haven't thought about it,” he said.The decision is the PCB's," he said, adding that he never sought a leadership role.
"About captaincy - when I left it (after the ODI World Cup), I thought I shouldn't do it anymore, so I left it and I announced it myself. Then when they gave it back to me So it was the PCB's decision."
Babar was clearly upset when repeatedly asked about his future as a leader and told the assembled media that one person cannot be blamed for the team's defeat.He told a reporter investigating, "...everybody is sad. We didn't play as a team. I told you we didn't lose this match because of any one person."
“We are losing as a team. I am not saying this because of any one person.You are saying that because of the captain I cannot play in place of every player. There are 11 players and each of them has their own role."
"I think as a team we haven't been able to execute, follow and finish things. We have to calm down and accept that we didn't play well as a team."

He admitted that batting is a matter of concern.
“You need to assess the conditions, what is the demand here. If you follow him – tell me how many matches have been played here and there has been excellent batting?
“There has been a struggle, but you need to be proactive about what's required here. I think it's about sports awareness and common sense, which is what's required here.,

Babar joined the chorus of criticism against the standard of pitches in the USA leg of the tournament, which concluded on Saturday. While the drop-in pitches in New York received much criticism, the inadequate cover for the entire field in Florida also did not sit well with teams.
"I was hoping someone (at the American track) would ask that question. As far as pitches are concerned...in New York, you saw the game was played on the toss. I think the timing was a little early."Because when you win the toss, every other team chooses to bowl. And the bowlers get help...you had no idea of the bounce because there was no consistent bounce. Sometimes the ball would go very high, Sometimes she remained downstairs." "
