Why did Babar Azam leave captaincy?

In the 2-minute, 15-second-long video, Zaka Ashraf revealed the reason behind Babar Azam’s removal from captaincy. He said that the then-skipper had formed a group with eight players, and he was asked to continue as Test captain. When asked by the woman who can be heard in the audio questioning on captain supporting his friends as players like Shadab have no place in the team, the Chairman replied, "Pakistan cricket is deteriorating because of this."

Here is Zaka Ashraf Leak Audio Babar Azam

“He has controlled eight players of the national team; he has signed a contract with the players. He is such a smart guy that he has built a lot of relationships with the players’ families by going to players’ houses, and the players can’t move without him, Talha Osmani, I think,” said PCB Head.

Pakistan vs West Indies: Jomel Warrican helps tourists secure first Test win in Pakistan since 1990 | Cricket News

West Indies claimed a first Test win in Pakistan since 1990 and levelled the series after Jomel Warrican’s five-for secured a 120-run victory on day three of the second Test in Multan. Resuming on 76-4 and chasing 178 runs for victory, Pakistan lost both overnight batters without adding to the total, as Kevin Sinclair (3-61) had Saud Shakeel caught in the slips off the third ball of the morning…

Kemar Roach, Motie all-round show helps WI claw back

Gudakesh Motie took a few wickets after reaching his first Test fifty and helped lower Pakistan to 51/4 in the post-lunch session before the hosts rallied to reach 70/4. With the new ball, Kemar Roach was just as effective, trouncing Pakistan's top order with two cheap wickets.

A small top-order collapse was brought on the West Indies new-ball bowlers. In his third over, Roach hit Muhammad Hurraira below the knee roll in front of the stumps, causing the ball to nip in and beat the inner edge of his bat. To no avail, the opener evaluated. In the next over, Motie, who had started the West Indies attack, joined in and dismissed Babaz Azam for a single.

By getting the bigger ball to seam in and take an inside edge off Shan Masood's bat before smashing into the stumps, Roach also removed the second opener. Masood produced 15.

Kamran Ghulam and Saud Shakeel had a brief partnership of 26 after falling to 25/3 in eight overs, but Motie ended that as well before the session break. In an attempt to defend, Ghulam ended up making a foolish mid-off catch that was well-judged by Alick Athanaze.

With tea looming, Shakeel (14*) and Mohammad Rizwan (13*) made sure there were no more interruptions. Pakistan was still 93 runs behind the West Indies' first innings total of 163, which was the result of a combination of the tailenders' flamboyance and resistance. Brief scores: Gudakesh Motie (2–45) and Kemar Roach (2–15) lead Pakistan 70/4 by 93 runs, while West Indies 163 leads.

Pakistan leads by Noman and Sajid on the 19-wicket day.

In the Multan Test, Pakistan finished with a final lead of 202 runs thanks to a record 19-wicket Day 2 led by Noman Ali (5 for 39) and Sajid Khan (4 for 65). West Indies collapsed for just 137 in response as the Pakistan spinners played havoc after Pakistan collapsed for 230 in a lower-order collapse despite a strong first hour of the morning session. With seven wickets remaining, Pakistan's lead surpassed 200 thanks to Shan Masood's fifty in the last session.

The overnight half-centurions Saud Shakeel (84) and Mohammad Rizwan (71), who held off the West Indies for an hour following a 30-minute delay in the start of the match due to fog for the second consecutive day, contributed 141 runs to Pakistan's 230. Early on, the well-set partnership was able to score runs because the West Indies bowling attack lacked consistency and discipline.

But Kevin Sinclair's strike on the first ball, which gave the keeper a slight edge, signalled the start of the collapse shortly after the drinks break. It would have been a worthy century, but Shakeel missed it by sixteen. Jomel Warrican then took the first of his three wickets of the day when Salman Agha pulled a thick edge onto his stumps.

Sinclair's very next over put Pakistan firmly on the defensive. First, Norman Ali lost his wicket in a run-out due to a huge misunderstanding between him and Rizwan in the middle. Rizwan made the call before he withdrew. With Pakistan losing both set batsmen in four overs, Sinclair had him trapped LBW on 71 a ball later.

In the 69th over, Warrican ended Pakistan's first innings by dismissing both Sajid Khan and Khurram Shahzad, who had a brief partnership of 25 for the ninth wicket after Khan hit a six and a four in his cameo of 18 at no. 9.

In the second over, Sajid bowled Mikyle Louis over the gate, making an almost instantaneous impression with the ball as well. With a brilliant take from debutant Muhammad Hurraira, Keacy Carty was caught at short leg on the very next delivery. Sajid's third victim, Kraigg Brathwaite, was bowled while trying a calculated sweep. The visitors were reduced to 22/4 within five overs of their reply when Kavem Hodge provided a return catch two balls later in the same over, which a tumbling Sajid was able to hang onto.

Early in his tenure, Justin Greaves was saved from an LBW ruling by DRS, but he quickly became Noman's first victim. Tevin Imlach and Alick Athanaze were both stranded LBW in his second, third, and fourth overs, while Kevin Sinclair was caught at long-off after attempting a big shot. Following a quick 25-run partnership between Jomel Warrican and Gudakesh Motie, Noman bowled the former to finish his fifer.

When they had nothing to lose, the West Indies innings' best partnership, incidentally, occurred. Jayden Seales and Warrican, the last-wicket duo, counterattacked and combined for 46 runs. Seales smashed three sixes and made 22 of them during his short but exciting stay. Abrar Ahmed then ended his fireworks and the first innings for the West Indies at 137. In the post-lunch session, West Indies broke down in just 26 overs as Warrican finished undefeated at 31 off just 24, including four boundaries and a six.

The first hour of the final session was dominated by the Pakistan openers, who started strong and put on a strong 67-run partnership, building on their 93-run advantage. Warrican made a patient 29, but shortly after the drinks break, he trapped Hurraira plumb in front of the wickets, ending the partnership.

For a brief moment, Shan Masood shifted tactics, striking sixes in back-to-back overs, but the hosts eased off their onslaught after Babar Azam was removed. Babar was also beaten on the inside edge by Warrican as he advanced to defend and trapped LBW, just like Hurraira. Kamran Ghulam, who was beaten two balls in a row for the remainder of the over, engaged the bowler in a brief duel. Soon later, Ghulam was assigned Warrican LBW, but he was able to avoid it by using a review.

After getting set, Masood silently reached a half-century off 60 balls and then demanded a nonexistent single to dismiss him. Two overs later, the lightmeters came out against the quickly failing light, and the players could only play another over before the umpires removed them.

Brief scores:

West Indies 137 (Jomel Warrican 31*; Noman Ali 5-39, Sajid Khan 4-65) are ahead of Pakistan 230 (Saud Shakeel 84, Mohammad Rizwan 71; Jayden Seales 3-27, Jomel Warrican 3-69) & 109/3 (Shan Masood 52, Jomel Warrican 2-17) by 202 runs.
