LAHORE, In light of the three consecutive losses suffered by Pakistan in the ICC World Cup 2023, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has called upon the cricket fraternity and fans to stand by captain Babar Azam and the national team. With four significant matches left in the round-robin stage, the board remains hopeful that the team can bounce back and deliver positive results in the forthcoming games.

According to a news release by the Pakistan Cricket Board, the board recognizes and empathizes with the strong reactions and sentiments of cricket enthusiasts after the recent defeats. The PCB stresses the importance of unity and support in these trying times. The board’s view aligns with that of many former cricketers, who believe that victories and setbacks are inherent elements of the sport. The PCB underscored that both Captain Babar Azam and Chief Selector Inzamam-ul-Haq were extended full freedom and backing when shaping the squad for the ICC World Cup 2023.
