Shahid Afridi, playing for Pakistan Champions in the World Championship of Legends (WCL), has called for the removal of Babar Azam as Pakistan's captain following their poor performance in the T20 World Cup, where they were eliminated early after losses to the USA and India. Afridi highlighted that Babar has had ample opportunities, leading the team in multiple World Cups and Asia Cups. He suggested a permanent change in leadership to allow new captains full time to develop.
