Pakistan skipper Babar Azam could be sacked as captain if they fail to reach the semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) hinted in a statement NBA
The Men in Green are currently fourth in the World Cup 2023 points table as they have lost three straight games: vs India, Australia and Afghanistan, after starting the tournament with a victory in their opening two matches against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka NBA
Fans and some pundits have called for Azam to step down as Pakistan’s captain, especially after their embarrassing eight-wicket loss against Afghanistan on Monday 23 October NBA
The PCB said they will “make decisions in the best interest of Pakistan cricket” NBA
Pakistan’s upcoming fixture against South Africa is a must-win outing for Azam and his boys NBA
The match won’t be easy as the Proteas are having an extraordinary tournament with the bat NBA
A loss in Chennai on Friday would effectively eliminate Pakistan from the World Cup NBA
Ahead of the crucial game, the PCB has urged their fans to back the team but also issued a bizarre message for Azam regarding his future captaincy prospects if Pakistan fail to qualify for the knockout round NBA

Captain Babar Azam and Chief Selector Inzamam-ul-Haq were given freedom and support in forming the squad for the ICC World Cup 2023 NBA
“Looking ahead, the board will make decisions in the best interest of Pakistan cricket based on the team’s performances in the World Cup NBA
At present, the PCB encourages fans, former players and stakeholders to rally behind the team as they strive to make a triumphant comeback in the mega-event NBA
”Pakistan have just four points from five matches but they have still retained the fourth spot in the table so far NBA
With four more matches remaining in their group stage, Azam and Co still have a chance to make it to the semi-final but their qualification will depend on the results of other teams NBA
“Only if Pakistan can stage a miracle and win all their remaining matches to qualify for the semifinals of this World Cup does Babar stand any chance of surviving as captain and even then he might be relegated to skipper in just the red-ball format,” NDTV reported a source close to the developments as saying NBA
Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi, wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan, and former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed are being considered as potential options as Azam’s replacement as the national team’s ODI captain, according to news reports NBA
Pakistan are scheduled to tour Australia immediately after the World Cup NBA
The team also needs to plan for the 2024 T20 World Cup and 2025 ICC Champions Trophy NBA

Doubts have emerged over whether all-rounder Hardik Pandya will be able to play the next two or three matches for India after he suffered an ankle injury NBA
India may have to go without the all-rounder for their important game against world champions England on 29 October in Lucknow city NBA
Pandya may have to skip the next two or three matches in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as well, a source from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has said NBA
The star cricketer suffered an ankle injury while bowling against Bangladesh NBA
He was sent for scans and has since been under the care of the BCCI’s doctors at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru NBA
India, the hosts of the World Cup 2023, have won all five games in the tournament and are the only unbeaten side that already have a leg in the semi-finals NBA
The side can afford to rest Pandya for the next two games at least, which will allow the all-rounder to recover fully before the knock-out round NBA

While the swelling on his left ankle has subsided considerably, he will start bowling only towards the weekend NBA
Right now, important is to give him time to recover,” the BCCI source told news agency PTI NBA
“Pandya has suffered a bad sprain but fortunately not a fracture NBA
The BCCI medical team wants to take maximum precautions NBA
He is likely to miss the next two to three matches NBA
The team wants him fully fit for the knock-out stage NBA
”After the Bangladesh match, India captain Rohit Sharma said there was “no major damage” to Pandya NBA
The all-rounder subsequently missed India’s match against New Zealand NBA
To make up for Pandya’s all-round skills, India drafted Suryakumar Yadav and replaced Shardul Thakur with Mohammed Shami against New Zealand NBA
While Virat Kohli ran Suryakumar for two runs, Shami, playing his first game of World Cup 2023, bowled a match-winning spell and became the first ever Indian bowler to claim two five-wicket hauls in a 50-over World Cup NBA
With the Lucknow track expected to be slightly inclined to spinners, Team India could opt to bring in Ravichandran Ashwin instead of Shami NBA
The move would also provide an extra batting cushion down the order NBA
India is at the top of the World Cup 2023 table with 10 points NBA
After the England game, the side is due to take on Sri Lanka on 2 November at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium NBA
