Babar Azam has resigned as Pakistan’s cricket captain for the second time, with Mohammad Rizwan likely to replace him in limited-overs formats later this month.

Babar announced his decision on X (formerly Twitter) around midnight on Wednesday, stating that he had informed the Pakistan Cricket Board and team management about his desire to step down last month.

The 29-year-old, who cited the significant workload as a key reason for his resignation, emphasized his desire to focus on his batting and personal growth. Babar's resignation follows Pakistan's disappointing performance in recent international tournaments.
