Pakistan faces leadership and performance issues in Test cricket.
Pakistan is considering replacing Shan Masood with Babar Azam as Test captain following a 104-run defeat to Bangladesh in the first Test. Discussions have begun to bring Babar back for the remaining World Test Championship cycle, with potential plans for him to later take over as ODI captain ahead of the 2024 World Cup. Babar, who missed the first Test due to a knee injury, is expected to return for the second Test starting May 18. Influential PCB figures and some team members support his return to captaincy. Masood, under whom Pakistan has lost 11 of 15 Tests since December 2023, is considering a permanent role with the PCB after expressing disappointment over the loss.
