**KARACHI, PAKISTAN** – Pakistan’s white-ball captain Babar Azam has come under fire for his recent lack of form, with many questioning his captaincy as well. Following a disappointing T20 World Cup campaign where Pakistan failed to advance past the group stage, Azam has been unable to find his rhythm, failing to score a half-century in both the World Cup and the subsequent Bangladesh Test series.

Former Pakistan cricketer Younis Khan has advised Azam to focus on his individual performance rather than captaincy, citing the example of Virat Kohli. Kohli, who stepped down from captaincy for India, has since enjoyed a resurgence in form and is breaking records worldwide.

“Captaincy is a small thing, performance is what matters,” Khan said. “Look at Virat Kohli. He chose to step down from captaincy on his own terms, and now he’s breaking records worldwide.”

Khan believes that Azam should prioritize his cricket and strive to improve his performance. “The only suggestion I have for Babar is that he should focus on his cricket. He should up his performance,” Khan said.

Azam’s poor form has been a cause for concern for many, with some even attributing Pakistan’s underwhelming performance in the T20 World Cup to his struggles.

With high expectations on his shoulders, Azam is facing a critical period in his career. It remains to be seen if he can regain his form and silence his critics.
