The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and coach Jason Gillespie have decided to retain Shan Masood as the national team's Test captain for the upcoming international season.
However, the decision regarding Babar Azam's leadership role in the white-ball formats has been deferred for the time being. Pakistan is set to host England for a three-match Test series in October, and the team is also scheduled to play against Bangladesh, South Africa and the West Indies in the near future.
