Babar Azam was held responsible for Pakistan's poor performance in the T20 World Cup. After this, cricket experts raised questions on him and demanded his removal from the captaincy. The Pakistan Cricket Board did not remove him from the captaincy, but dropped him from the Bangladesh Test series. Its effect is now seen in Canada's GT20 League as well. Apart from him, Mohammad Rizwan is also playing in this league. Both the players have been included in the team of Vancouver Knights, but the franchise has made Rizwan the captain, ignoring Babar.

Why did Vancouver Knights make him captain?

The fourth season of the GT20 League is going to be held in Canada.

Meanwhile, Vancouver Knights announced Rizwan as their captain on their social media. Along with this, a statement was issued, in which they explained why Rizwan has been made the captain. Vancouver Knights said in their statement that Rizwan has been chosen as the captain of the team due to his excellent batting and wicketkeeping. Now Babar Azam will have to play under the captaincy of Rizwan. Apart from Rizwan and Babar, Pakistani cricketers Mohammad Aamir and Asif Ali will also be part of this team. Apart from these four Pakistani players, Shaheen Afridi is also going to play in this league. He has been included in the team of Toronto National.

Hear this, hear this! The Vancouver Knights have chosen their captain for GT20 Season 4: Sir @iMRizwanPak, With his mighty batting skills and sharp wicketkeeping, he's ready to lead our charge to victory. Prepare for battle, Knights!

Who is better in captaincy, Babar or Rizwan?

Babar Azam has captained 85 matches in T20 International, winning 48. Under his captaincy, Pakistan reached the final of the 2022 T20 World Cup, but since then the team's performance has been continuously declining. He has not been able to win a single trophy. He captains Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League. He has never been able to win a trophy for this team as well. He captained 22 matches in PSL, winning 11 and losing 11. At the same time, Rizwan has not yet captained the Pakistan cricket team, but has reached the final three times while captaining Multan Sultans in PSL.
