The Karachi Kings congratulated their star batsman Babar Azam on being appointed as Pakistan’s ODI captain.
Azam’s new leadership role was confirmed on the same day Pakistan announced their central contract list for the 2020-2021 season.
In addition to being ODI captain, Azam has also been leading Pakistan in T20 Internationals since Sarfaraz Ahmed was sacked as captain in October last year.
