He is not an awful captain at all.
He might be tactically inept compared to his peers.
But what he has done to the dressing room is unparalled. Professionalism, work ethic and motivation are at the best levels we have seen since Imran Khan.
Let's be honest, this is not the most talented squad at all. Only Shaheen and Babar himself are truly world class cricketers.
Yet we are consistently overperforming in white ball cricket under Babar. He is really doing a very good job despite lack of tactical awareness.
Nope.
I good captain had to have match awareness in the field, when to bring in which bowlers and how to set fields to different batsmen.
I trust Babar when he is batting but not when is captaining on the field.
His captaincy cost us the World Cup semi final against the Aussies, the Asia cup last year and numerous games.
He seems to lack that basic instinct on the field and I have mentioned this several times over the last two years. I was hopeful that he would learn on the job but he keeps making the same mistakes over and over again.
