Karachi: Pakistan Cricket Board on Sunday reappointed Babar Azam as white-ball captain, in the latest of a series of changes to get the team back on track for this year's Twenty20 World Cup.
Azam stepped down as all format skipper in November last year after Pakistan crashed out of the 50 over World Cup in the first round in India.
"Babar Azam appointed white ball captain," the PCB announced on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Following unanimous recommendation from the PCB's selection committee, chairman PCB Naqvi has appointed Azam as white-ball (T20Is and ODIs) captain of the Pakistan cricket team."
The seven-member selection committee, which was re-organised just a week ago, recommended he should replace Shaheen Shah Afridi.
