As per reports in Pakistani media, the players of the national team are yet to receive their four months' salary, be it stars like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan or Shaheen Afridi.

PCB was expected to hand over Babar Azam ODI captaincy as well for the upcoming white-ball matches, but the batter tendered his resignation.

Pakistan cricket appears to be in a downward spiral, having delivered lacklustre performances at the 2023 ODI World Cup and earlier this year in the T20 World Cup.

Babar Azam announced his resignation on his personal social media just before midnight on Tuesday.

In a shocking turn of events, star batter Babar Azam stepped down as the captain of Pakistan's white-ball team on Wednesday.

"One final request - in a humble manner - Pakistan's captain is sitting here. You can definitely ask questions, but please show respect," said PCB's media manager.

Pakistan cricket team fast bowler Shaheen Afridi completely brushed aside any workload concerns following comments from head coach Gary Kirsten.

Fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi was on Tuesday recalled as the Pakistan selectors named a 15-member squad for the first Test against England beginning on October 7.

According to sources, the players voiced their concerns regarding problems in communicating with top PCB officials, especially in the international and domestic cricket departments

Along with the players, white-ball head coach Gary Kirsten and red-ball head coach Jason Gillespie were also present during the camp.
