The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reinstated Babar Azam as the white-ball captain, aiming to revitalize the team's performance ahead of the upcoming Twenty20 World Cup. This decision comes amidst a series of changes implemented by the PCB to bolster the team's prospects.

In a strategic move to rejuvenate Pakistan's cricketing fortunes ahead of the highly anticipated Twenty20 World Cup, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the reappointment of Babar Azam as the white-ball captain. 

Following unanimous approval from the PCB's selection committee, chaired by Mohsin Naqvi, Azam will lead the team in both T20 Internationals (T20Is) and One-Day Internationals (ODIs). This decision marks a significant shift in leadership dynamics, as Azam returns to helm the squad after relinquishing his role as all-format skipper in the aftermath of Pakistan's disappointing exit from the 50-over World Cup in India last year.

 The restructured selection committee, comprising seven members and devoid of a chairman, recommended Azam's reinstatement, replacing Shaheen Shah Afridi. The overhaul in leadership comes amidst a tumultuous period for Pakistan cricket, characterized by a string of poor performances under various captains and coaching setups. 

Notably, the team endured a Test whitewash in Australia and a series defeat in New Zealand under the stewardship of then-head coach Mickey Arthur. However, with renewed focus and strategic changes in the selection process, including the involvement of captains and head coaches, the PCB aims to steer the team towards success in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

The return of fast bowler Mohammad Amir from retirement and all-rounder Imad Wasim's reversal of his retirement decision further bolster Pakistan's preparations for the global cricketing spectacle. 

Currently undergoing a rigorous two-week training camp at the army base Kakul, the team is gearing up for a series of T20Is against New Zealand, Ireland, and England, before setting their sights on the World Cup in the United States and the West Indies.
