The PCB announced the leadership change when Pakistan named their squads for the two-match Test series against the West Indies as well as for the three-match Test series in England.
Under Masood’s captaincy, Pakistan also suffered seven straight Test defeats, which equals the team's longest losing streak in the format. Those disappointing poor results forced the PCB to bring one of their most successful Test captains, Babar Azam, back into the leadership regime.
Misbah-ul-Haq backs Babar Azam after captaincy return
He pointed out that many had questioned Babar's place in Pakistan's T20I team because of his form and strike rate. But Misbah feels Babar answered all those doubts with his performances in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026.
The legendary batter has noted that Babar showed in the PSL that he is still a match-winner in T20 cricket. He believes it is now up to the Pakistan cricket team management to decide how they want to use him in the playing XI.
Misbah-ul-Haq says Babar Azam is valuable in every format
Misbah also said Babar's quality should not be judged only by T20 cricket. He pointed out that Babar has already proved himself in ODI cricket and has also played many important innings in Test cricket. However, the legendary batter believes Babar can still improve further in the longest format.
The former Pakistan captain also praised Babar's batting skills. He feels Babar is Pakistan's best batter when it comes to technique and consistency. Misbah signed off by saying, “In my opinion, he is still a very useful player, and you can use him in all three formats. Technically and in terms of consistency, he is the best player.”
