Excellent batsman and holds his place in the side based on merit alone - but a leader of men? You decide.

No time like the present imo (where he's established himself as a world class batsman in limited overs cricket) to test him out in the least worthy of the international formats. Good move, if it backfires then don't appoint him in the other formats.
 
T20's has to be the format to blood youngsters and so yes making Barbar the captain is certainly the right decision.

I would go further and implement a rule that the national T20 side cannot have players older then 28 years of age.
 
The one thing Babar will have going for him will be that he has the ability to lead by example. He is head and shoulders above every player in the dressing room.

In Pakistan, a captain has to lead by example first and foremost.
 
Yes, it's a great way to see whether or not he can do the job.

If everything works out, Babar will become captain in all three formats after a few years.
 
No. The extra pressure will effect his batting. Also his captaincy in the national T20 has been poor especially some of the decisions he took. Central Punjab should have won the first game which they choked.

Imad Wasim should have been the captain with Babar being the deputy ( for all the forms). Babar still has a lot to learn and Pakistani fans will not forgive him which will create that extra pressure.
 
Babar is a yes man. However, He has a lot of respect within the entire squad and I think the majority of Pakistan's players know he is the best batsman in the country.
 
What is all this yes man nonsense. So he is supposed to say no to his employer. Would you ever say no to your employer. Of course he will give suggestions in selection but he can't just refuse a squad selected by Misbah. This is such stupid thing to say that he won't be good because he is a yes man. I bet Williamson, Du Plessis, Morgan and Finch are all yes men.
 
Finally we see a decent appointment under Mani and Wasim Khan.

It is important that Babar lets the advice he receives from Misbah in one ear and out in the other, otherwise we will have another defensive captain to contend with.
 
Poor decision IMO. He's just learning captaincy. Could have easily given in to Imad and had Babar as vice captain to take over. The disaster scenario would be that Babar's batting suffers, can not afford this.

Pakistan also takes T20s too seriously especially T20 world cup. If he doesn't win it, he could well be hounded out of captaincy. And we've seen players fall apart after chucked out of captaincy, they're not the same. Malik for example, we don't want to repeat that. Pietersen probably another example.

People also mix formats up. Sarfraz was a very good T20 captain, impressing in PSL with both batting and captaincy. Good record as international T20 captain, and a good overall record even with bat, averages 28 at SR 126. Which is the best record for a T20 bat we have apart from Babar.

Sarfraz had 1 bad series and is kicked out and was the only series he batted in this year, 2019. Last year in 2018 he averaged 32 at SR 145.

Rizwan on the other hand has done little in terms of international T20s or even in PSL.

Sarfraz absolutely should have been removed from Tests, and perhaps even T20s. But considering T20 world cup is coming, I think it was foolish booting him out there. He doesn't even get a chance to captain the side he led to no.1 in a world cup. Would have been perfect time to hand over captaincy to babar after the t20 world cup, with Babar having gained experienced by that time as vice.

Last time I checked Misbah is the one deciding his captains. :kp
 
Too early, Should have waited for a year at least so he could have more settled as a batsman.
 
It's a good decision. One I agree with. Sarfraz didn't make the team on merit.

The other options were Imad and Amir, who I can understand wouldn't be named captain due to mainly fitness.

Babar has reached his peak as a T20 batsman. He has captained at the domestic level (scoring a century recently), and vice-captained the most recent series.

He is ready to be T20I captain.

Misbah's negative feedback against Sarfaraz made the difference. He definately saw things in the dressing room and about Sarfaraz he did not like and could not tolerate, it takes something to push a normally tolerant Misbah over the edge.

Sarfaraz has only himself to blame. No one forced him to chow down on Biryani's, Karhai's and pile on the pounds especially considering he is the captain and the wicket keeper of the squad.
 
I would've given ODI captaincy to Babar but T20 captaincy to Imad, as the latter's fitness/attitude won't come into play as much in the shortest format. Ideally I'd have Imad skipper in ODIs and T20Is but of course with his fitness, that's not possible.

But considering our next ODI is 9 months from now, Imad captaining in T20s would allow Babar to play some more without the added pressure and learn the art of captaincy.

That said, Babar was eventually going to become captain and a part of me feels he may thrive with the added responsibility. He has U19 experience and now domestic experience under his belt, so it's not the end of the world. I'm excited to see how he does and the positive here is that his T20I captaincy can be a decent indicator of whether or not he's good enough to take over in ODIs next year and eventually, in Tests after 1-2 years.
 
Imad wasim should have been the limited overs captain.
Its too early for babar and i don't think he "ll be a good captain.
 
After decades Pakistan found someone who can be compared to world class players like Kohli, Williamson or Root. Giving extra responsibility can back fire sometimes as handling Pakistani players is the most difficult job in world.
 
Sarfraz should’ve stayed on till the World T20. Misbah screwed him over by picking trash for the SL series. Sarfraz was a good T20I captain even if we were carrying him in the side as a batsmen.
 
Time will tell.

He's easily our best batsman and I hope his form doesn't suffer as captain.
 
No , Babar is no leader . He is our best batter and God knows we need him . Why weigh him down with the extra pressures of captaincy . IMO sarfarz was dong fine in shorter formats as captain . If we really needed to change captains then maybe Imad .

Every top batsman of Pakistan was made captain at some point of time, be it Miandad, Inzi, Younus, Yousuf etc and same is the case with some other countries as well. So it was gonna happen eventually and we can only hope that Babar flourishes with this role like Williamson, Kohli and Smith did.
 
I hope he does well, personally I think he should have concentrated on his batting for a while.
At least he has got it on merit.
 
captaincy is big responsibility I feel this could impact on his batting.
Balancing both captaincy and batting is not everyone cup of tea.
Let see ..hope he will prove me wrong.

All the best Babar........
 
Sarfaraz should have been captain in t20 until next Wc, and odi captain until the year after. Then according to how Babar did in the T20s captaincy post sarfaraz , he could have been given odi captaincy 2 years before the next 50 over world cup.

Azhar as test captain for 2years is fine. If Babar was doing the business then he could take over thereafter
 
Good appointment. He is the man who will captain in all 3 formats.

This is a good chance for him to settle in to captaincy. A captain needs to lead from the front and make the team on merit. Babar fills these points .

People need to stop being negative about this. It may not work out , but not every single thing in sport works out lol. We could not carry on with Sarfraz as captain. If Babar doesn't work out , we move on. Stop over thinking every thing.

I am confident he will do well.

Babar will do fine.

Sarfraz didn't merit a spot in the team so Misbah had to take a risk.

Most people on PP think a good captain is one who makes bowling changes and makes the most noise.

Leading by example through performance can be enough to inspire a team.

I'm happy with this appointment.
 
I think it was a great decision to make Babar captain. T20 is not a highly important format and Babar can test out his captaincy potential.
 
I would prefer Mohammad Amir to be his vice captain. If not him, then Fakhar Zaman.
 
Imad would have a far better choice as captain, I would let Babar pile up runs.
 
"T20 is like fun cricket" - Younis Khan

Doesn't hurt to throw him in the fire...history tells us that's how true leaders are made. Exciting times but let's see if he will be a leader or will he be the coach's right-hand man.

I don't think Imad has the professionalism to be a captain. He's another guy who doesn't take his fitness (barely passed the fitness tests) or game seriously.

Smith, Kohli, and Williamson were easily able to adjust to captaincy and I think Babar will too.
 
Too young. Too easy to break. Will flop. Great players don’t always make good captains.

Kohli became Test captain at 25.
Steve Smith became captain at 26.
Kane Williamson became captain at 26.

He's the perfect age to debut as captain.
 
here is my prediction: Aus demolishes pak in T20, Babar loses form. Pakistan get kicked out of WT20 very early. Misbah gets fired. Captaincy get rotated to another person. Pakistan hires another professional foreigner coach. This may happen in 1 year or 2 but it will happen.

Can someone explain Babar's captaincy credentials in domestic or PSL or any gulli cricket out there in T20?

Took his team to the U19 Asia Cup final as captain (match was a tie). He also captained at the U19 WC with a QF finish (topped their group).

Let's not pretend he's a complete newbie.

I think pakistan will bounce back from this t20 series loss and will demolish this aussie team in australia.
 
We've had the Mughal-E-Azam, the Quaid-E-Azam in history. Now it's the turn of the Babar-E-Azam to etch his name as the King of Pakistan cricket.
 
Dont think Babar is ready for this - he is our only good batsman - hope doesnt get distracted
 
Should Babar Azam continue as T20 captain?

I have a feeling PCB have jumped the trigger a little early with Babar captaincy. Timing is wrong with a world event coming up. He is awkward with the media. Why take the risk? I know you have already selected him but this is a new set up and perhaps, if Misbah thinks he has made a mistake, he should just admit it, and select someone else till the end of the T20 world cup.

Imad Wasim, Arthur’s pick, probably did seem like the logical idea. Let Babar just focus on his batting. Don’t worry about captaincy at all right now, just keep batting like a maestro. I think that is really what Babar himself probably wants to do as well, deep down, at this stage of his career.

Not gonna happen and shouldnt happen as well. Shot has been fired and there shouldnt be any turning back as it will be not only unprofessional on PCB’s part but will ruin Babar’s confidence as leader too and he is supposed to lead Pakistan in all formats in few years time.

They could have thought all about the decision before making it and now only thing they should do is to stick with it and let Babar develop with time.

Pak is not only trying new players but a new young leader as well in T20s as it should be which will allow him to learn and progress in this role before assignment in other formats.

I wish they did it. I don’t care if we look unprofessional, if it could be better for the team. Just focus on your own product. Babar can be made to understand hopefully. And don’t even have to crown him a ‘future leader’, just let him bat. Don’t worry about the captaincy at all. Do you think Imad hypothetically would have been a better captain up to T20 world cup?

I totally agree that Imad is much more mature along with experience pf captaincy in PSL as well as domestics and in the short term perspective he would definitely been a better option. However, it all comes down to the fact what precedent we are trying to set, while Imad is a performer in T20s but he has no comparison to Babar in terms of performances across the formats.

Pakistan cricket has suffered a lot with captains in last 4-5 years who didnt have the ability to lead by example and even some like Azhar Ali and in recent times Sarfraz didnt even merit a place in the ODI team to start with.

I personally wouldnt have any issue if Imad would have been given the T20 captaincy but than with 3 captains across 3 formats wouldnt have been an ideal scenario as we all know that other than Babar there is no one who merits the ODI captaincy so rather than dividing the captaincies PCB by the looks of it has made up its mind to make Babar the incharge in LOIs as a whole.

Again I wouldnt have mind Imad as T20 captain and might have been better in short term considering T20 WC in mind but I do understand the PCB’s perspective as well which is also valid.
 
Should be made captain in ODIs as well. Excellent decision by PCB to make him captain. We finally have a superstar as captain. A shame that he has some mediocrity around him.
 
Why are all of you making such blunt comments about his captaincy? Both of you who support the decision and those who don't.

Is captaincy based on the individual's performance as a batsman or as a player? No. Yes, those things undoubtedly increase credibility. But good captaincy is based on technical knowledge of the game, captaincy is based on situation-awareness, quick decision making, informed decision making, overall leadership qualities etc. Great captains (Dhoni, Ponting, Graeme Smith) also think out of the box. These are all virtues that I feel the captain must possess.

I know Sarfaraz wasnt in the best of form, but he was a very good captain, very smart, and would have really helped him if he was given the correct playing XIs, and if his own number was correctly slotted. Poor guy sometimes waited for his turn till no. 9. But he won us matches, and that was a plus point. He had a lot to improve upon though. Also, I do think he was a bad test captain, and it was about time we did something about that.

And let me tell you, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, and Azhar Ali are the worst captains I have ever seen, ever! They set odd fields that dont work, they make bizarre bowling changes, and have no clue how to take wickets!! They can't adopt to the situation, and have zero match flexibility.

Did you see Babar Azam in the T20 Cup, blekkhh. In the Australia matches that he captained in, his bowlers were bowling standard off stump good length bowling, no real pace and no real swing (at a time when they should've been bowling yorkers), and he only had 3 fielders on the off side, all in the circle.

However, all that said, Babar is a quick learner and doesnt repeat his mistakes. When he takes the job seriously, he never repeats the same mistakes again, at least from his batting and fielding. It's at least a refreshing choice, and very exciting, and it could prove beneficial for us in the future.

Some people are quoting Imad Wasim. Hahaha. Yes he has some experience, but he was the second worst captain in the PSL, IMO. You guys are talking like he won Karachi two trophies in one tournament 😂

Also guys, please stop mistaking captaincy with factors like seniority, experience, or lead by example types. Or because Azhar Ali is a "decent guy", he'll be a good captain (Is Virat decent?) You can be senior, you can have lots of experience, but you can still be a dumb, or a uselessly defensive captain (Shahid Afridi, Misbah ul Haq, Shoaib Malik are good examples). I mean guys, Tim Payne, for example, isnt the best player exactly, but he's a very good captain and is getting better with time.

IMO, Sarfraz should have stayed as T20 Captain, and we saw a glimpse of Asad Shafiq's captaincy in the SA series. I liked what I saw. When SA batsmen were flowing with runs, he had to take over because of some issue with Sarfaraz, and with his radically aggressive fielding ploys, he reduced the strike rates dramatically and then even got a wicket. Also, he's experienced and senior, and at the very least is a much better choice than Azhar. I would rather make Shaheen Shah Afridi the captain. No kidding.

And in ODIs, maybe I would give him a rest and there I could let the vice captain (Shadab, or Babar whoever it was) take over for a series or two, or until whenever Sarfraz got his form back. If they proved to be better than Saifi, maybe even give them an extended run.

But let's just wait and see. Maybe I am wrong. But as of now, I think that not only should Azhar be immediately removed as captain, but I think he should be removed from the team as a whole. He is disastrously out of form in all departments, and immensely overrated. And Shoaib, Hafeez and Azhar are the worst players for overseas conditions anyways.

Nevertheless, I would love to hear your opinions on my perspective, and hopefully I've successfully convinced some of you reading this to change your minds :)
 
T20s was the one format where Sarfraz was doing fine and was a much better batsman than his replacement, Rizwan. PCB as always cannot distinguish between formats.

Babar should have been made ODI captain and probably test captain as well given that he is probably the only player who is an automatic pick.

Excellent post and welcome to PP :)
 
The best player in a team should be the captain as he can inspire the other players as well. Excellent choice without any doubt. Babar is the way to go for Pakistan not just in T20s but in all formats.
 
Sarfraz led the national team to no. 1, an unbeaten streak and it wasn't just the national team he had success with, but also his franchise team QG had won the PSL and go to the knockout stages every year.

No way you can replace someone like Sarfraz, especially with a rookie.

Babar has done brilliantly with the bat, but he is nowhere near Sarfraz as a T20 captain and Sarfraz deserved to at least lead the team at the WC.
 
Bangladesh were 41/3 but then Babar decided to bowl part timers like Malik and Ifti. That didnt quite made sense and Bangla were allowed to settle down a bit. They failed to capitalise though which was due to their lack of quality. Credit to Pakistan bowlers though towards the end.

Pakistan must go for the kill in such situations and bowl with their front line bowlers.

Babar must learn from this as if you should always learn from your wins as well.

Yes offcourse like bringing UA and shazad back, no 1 t20 side to 2 whitewashes in a row and how could we forget his services as a captain where he bored us to death and for that he should be given Nishan-e-pakistan

This, he should have at least been in t20 team
 
Btw how’s Babar’s English? Is it better than Sarfraz or is it like his cousins the Akmals?
 
So far so good, but this has not been a proper test from a very weak team.
