If Azhar Ali is removed as Test skipper, who should be his replacement?

[BreadPakoda]

Babar Azam. No point making Shan or Shadab or Rizwan the captain. The first two are not even sure starters and its too early for Rizwan. Remember what happened to Sarfaraz.

Tendulkar says hi. False equivalences!

Imran Khan, MS Dhoni, Ricky Ponting, Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards, Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Wasim Akram, Hansie Cronje, Virat Kohli all say hi as well.

Exceptions like Lara and Tendulkar are not a rule.

Neither do they mean anything. The equivalence was great captains have been great players thus a great player should be made captain (Babar).

That is false.

I can add a few more names to the list until you start to see a pattern. Don Bradman, Greg Chappell, Mike Brearley, Rahul Dravid, Andrew Strauss, Michael Clarke, Alistair Cook.....

There is a certain way captains have been selected throughout the cricketing history. Rarely do you see mediocre players being handed the reigns.

Thats what other players are in this Pakistani team when compared to Babar.
