Inzamam-ul-Haq Affirms: Babar Azam, Captain Marvel for All Seasons
Greetings, aficionados of the gentleman’s game! In a recent tête-à-tête, the seasoned cricketing luminary, Inzamam-ul-Haq, swayed us with his unwavering faith in the virtuoso captaincy prowess of none other than Babar Azam. This cricketing sage, who has donned the prestigious hat of Pakistan’s chief selector, spared no superlatives in extolling Azam’s leadership finesse.
Post the heart-throbbing cliffhangers of the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup finals last year, where our lads in green narrowly missed clinching the crown, skeptics pondered the trajectory of Babar’s captaincy. Yet, hold your breath, as the Pakistan Cricket Board’s stance on this matter has all the subtlety of a yorker – Azam’s captaincy is here to stay! And it’s not just the PCB’s resolute nod, but Inzamam-ul-Haq himself, with his cricketing wisdom etched in the annals of the sport, who concurs. His recent revelation came with the unveiling of Pakistan’s squad for the impending Asia Cup.

With a mischievous grin, Inzamam quipped that he was all in for Babar’s captaincy, across the trifecta of formats. An intriguing twist lies here – while Inzamam humbly reiterated his lack of clout in the captaincy shuffle, he waxed eloquent on the significance of stability at the helm. Remember the era when Sarfaraz Ahmed navigated the ship in only one format, later embracing the reins in all three? Inzamam’s wisdom sparkles as he champions a unified captaincy across formats for those who grace the field in all three guises of the sport. But the captaincy carousel isn’t within his administrative grasp – a playful irony that he doesn’t shy away from acknowledging, as he stood before the media’s scrutinizing gaze.
But lo and behold! It’s not just captaincy convictions that Inzamam unveiled. He unveiled a tapestry of aspirations for the forthcoming World Cup, an extravaganza that we’re all eagerly awaiting. Like a skilled seam bowler setting up a batsman, Inzamam disclosed that the squad for the Asia Cup was meticulously chosen with one eye firmly fixed on the impending World Cup. The Asia Cup shall serve as a crucible, where the chosen few will be pitted against formidable rivals, their mettle scrutinized, and their stars gauged for that grand rendezvous on the world stage. As Inzamam succinctly put it, these chosen warriors bear the burden of the nation’s aspirations – a rallying cry for the laurels we yearn to see.
And while Inzamam painted a vivid canvas of ambitions, he also slipped in a subtle wish – a desire for the coaching twosome of Micky Arthur and Grant Bradburn to continue weaving their magic with our national squad. Their guidance, akin to the seasoned brushstrokes of artists, has carved its mark on the team’s evolution.
So, my fellow devotees of leather and willow, the stage is set, the players are chosen, and Inzamam-ul-Haq has unfurled his sagacity and aspirations with candor and verve. As the cricketing odyssey continues, we’re left with bated breath, awaiting the symphony of triumphs and tales that this chapter will orchestrate. Let the games begin!
