Lahore, 23rd October: Azhar Ali, the captain of the national Test cricket team, is in danger.
Baaghi TV: The captaincy of Azhar Ali is in deep waters.
According to sources, the tour of New Zealand will be led by someone else. Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are under consideration for the captaincy of Test cricket.
It is reported that CEO PCB Wasim Khan has also met Azhar Ali. Chairman PCB Ehsan Mani will take a final decision on the Test captain in the next two weeks.
Sources said that only Babar Azam is likely to be retained as the captain of white-ball cricket. The PCB has appointed Azhar Ali as the captain of the Test team for the 2020-20 season.
On the other hand, wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan is considered a strong candidate for the captaincy of the Pakistan Test team.
Azhar Ali was appointed captain before the tour of Australia in October 2019 and since Misbah-ul-Haq’s powers were reduced, rumours were circulating that the Test captain’s performance would also be reviewed.
