NEW DELHI: In the aftermath of Pakistan's World Cup campaign concluding with a 93-run defeat against England, team director Mickey Arthur has come to the defence of skipper Babar Azam. Speculations had been circulating that Babar might step down from the captaincy after the tournament, fueled by criticism from former Pakistan players regarding his leadership decisions.
Addressing the media in the post-match press conference, Arthur expressed his support for Babar, emphasising the learning curve that comes with captaincy. Despite criticism and rumours surrounding Babar's potential resignation, Arthur asserted that making mistakes is part of the process.
