Calling for a change in “cultural” mindset, Pakistan’s vice-captain Shadab Khan has voiced his support for skipper Babar Azam, who is being blamed for the team’s disastrous showing in the World Cup.


There has been a growing demand from several former Pakistan cricketers for the removal of Babar as captain after the team could not qualify for the World Cup semifinals. However, Shadab indicated the responsibility for the defeats doesn’t rest solely on the captain.

“This represents a cultural difference. When we emerge victorious, it is attributed solely to the captain’s triumph. But in times of defeat, the responsibility for the loss falls squarely on the captain’s shoulders. This should change,” Shadab told reporters after Pakistan’s 93-run defeat to England in their last World Cup match here on Saturday.

Back home, there has been talk about wholesale changes in the team including the removal of Babar as skipper.
