  + stars: | 2023-11-15 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
Nov 15 (Reuters) - Babar Azam stepped down as Pakistan's cricket captain on Wednesday, days after a group stage exit from the World Cup. Azam captained Pakistan in all three formats starting October 2019, and led them to number one in ICC One Day International (ODI) rankings for the first time in May. Pakistan slid from the spot after finishing fourth in Asia Cup and fifth in the World Cup. Batsman Shan Masood has been announced by the PCB as the new test captain while pacer Shaheen Afridi will be the T20 captain. Azam is ranked by ICC as a top five batsman in all three formats, and is Pakistan's most successful captain in T20 Internationals with 42 wins.

Rizwan unhappy with number five slot in Pakistan order

KARACHI, Pakistan, May 2 (Reuters) - Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan said he is not happy with being pushed down the order to number five for the first two One-Day Internationals against New Zealand and the wicketkeeper-batsman wants to move back up a slot. While Rizwan has excelled in the finisher's role at five, helping his team win both games, he said he did not want to stay there. "If you ask me honestly, I am not happy batting at number five (in ODIs), because I want to bat at number four," he told a news conference on Monday. Rawalpindi hosted the first two ODIs but the series now switches to Karachi for the remaining three. The tourists also trailed the preceding Twenty20 series 2-0 before fighting back for a 2-2 draw and Rizwan said Pakistan must not get complacent.
Ben Stokes of England celebrates victory following during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Final match between Pakistan and England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on November 13, 2022 in Melbourne, Australia. Ben Stokes starred in a final once again as England became dual white-ball world champions after overcoming Pakistan by five wickets to win the T20 World Cup at the MCG. England rallied to overpower New Zealand, edge past Sri Lanka and decimate India before seeing off Pakistan to end their opponents' hopes of winning the T20 World Cup for a second time and of repeating their victory over England at the MCG in the 1992 50-over final. Babar's exit came at the start of the 12th over with Pakistan 84-2 and they went on lose six wickets for 47 runs. England will remain in Australia to play a three-match one-day international series against Australia, beginning on Thursday at Adelaide before fixtures at the SCG on Saturday and MCG on November 22.
