Pakistan's T20 World Cup Exit Sparks Calls for Overhaul, Babar's Captaincy Under Scrutiny

Pakistan's disappointing exit from the T20 World Cup has sparked widespread criticism and calls for a major overhaul. The team's performance has been marred by defeats to minnows USA and arch-rivals India, leading to questions about the leadership of captain Babar Azam.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan believes that Pakistan should retain Babar as captain despite his shortcomings in the T20 format. Vaughan argues that the team needs consistency and cannot afford to keep changing leaders. He acknowledges that Babar is not among the top 15 T20 batters in the world, but emphasizes the importance of stability.

Vaughan also highlights the need for a comprehensive review of Pakistan's cricket system. He believes that the coaches, selectors, and administrators must work together to create a pool of talented players for the captain and coaches to choose from.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi has acknowledged the need for changes, stating that the team requires "major surgery." He has expressed disappointment with the team's performance and vowed to make improvements.

The PCB is expected to announce changes in the team and management in the near future. Pakistan is set to host the Champions Trophy in 2025, and there is a sense of urgency to rebuild the team and restore its competitiveness.
