The Pakistan captain has come in for a lot of criticism in recent times. Under him, the Men in Green were whitewashed 0-3 in a Test series at home by England - the first-ever instance of a Pakistan men’s team being blanked in a home Test series.
Earlier, Pakistan recovered from a horror start to reach the T20 World Cup 2022 final in Australia. However, barring the semi-final against New Zealand, in which Babar scored a half-century, the opener struggled for runs.
Sharing his views on Babar’s captaincy, Inzamam was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan:
Inzamam, himself a former captain and the current president of PSL franchise Peshawar Zalmi, also backed Babar to continue as leader of the national team. Giving his vote of confidence to the 28-year-old, he stated:
Further, Inzamam threw his weight behind his former teammates and current coaches of the Pakistan team. He commented:
Meanwhile, amid reports that Babar might be replaced as captain, interim chief selector Shahid Afridi asserted that the current skipper has his complete backing.

According to former leg-spinner Danish Kaneria, keeper-batter Sarfaraz Ahmed, who recently returned to the Test playing XI, should lead Pakistan in red-ball cricket. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Kaneria opined:
Babar is currently leading Pakistan in the second game of the two-match Test series against New Zealand at home. The first Test in Karachi ended in a draw.
