Babar Azam to Replace Sarfaraz Ahmed as Pakistan’s ODI Captain

Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed's cricket career is now considered to be completely over. After being dropped from T20 and Test team, it is now reported that he will be dropped from the ODI team as well. According to the information, the captaincy of Pakistan ODI team can be given to Babar Azam. The captaincy was taken away from Sarfaraz after the defeat in the World Cup.

The Pakistan Cricket Board is going to take an important decision that could end the career of former captain Sarfraz Ahmed. After being eliminated from the first round in the ICC World Cup, Sarfaraz captained the team for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. He was then dropped from the Test and T20 teams after a 3–0 embarrassing defeat in the T20 series.

Pakistan's Test team captaincy was given to Azhar Ali while T20 was given to Babar Azam. No decision was made regarding the ODI team, after which it was expected that Sarfaraz could be retained as captain. It is now reported that Babar is also being given the captaincy of the ODI team.

Pakistan played a three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka in September last year. The team has not played any ODI since then. The only ODI match is to be played against Bangladesh on 3 April. The name of the captain is to be announced before this match. According to the information, the captaincy of ODI team can be given to Babar Azam in place of Sarfaraz.
