S02E37: Who Should be India's Next Cricket Captain? | How Good is Babar Azam as Pakistan Captain?

All About Sports - The Podcast

The role of captaincy in cricket involves a level of responsibility that in many ways exceeds that of a captain in any other sport! The influence a captain has on a game, a series, or even an era is immense in cricket! The list of captains that transformed the state of cricket for their nation is a long one - Kapil Dev inspiring India to victory in 1983, Imran Khan's influence on Pakistan's 1992 World Cup win, Ponting's and Steve Waugh's role in Australia's dominance through the 2000s, and Dhoni's leadership in winning the 2007 T20 World Cup that led to later winning a World Cup, Champions Trophy and taking India to #1 in the Test Rankings! The importance of a captain is undeniable.

In this week's episode of All About Sports, we discuss the future of captaincy across nations! With India, we look to the future and try to predict who takes over from all-format captain Rohit Sharma, who's already 35 years old! Who do we see as potential candidates for the role, and whether they'll even be consistent enough to be in the starting XI when the time comes? Outside of India, what is the future of Pakistani cricket, is Babar Azam the man to revive Pakistan's cricketing fortunes? For England, how long can they stick with Eoin Morgan? And is the clock running out on Aaron Finch as Australian limited-overs captain, with his continuing struggles with the bat?

Stay till the end for the quiz, that's all about cricket captains!
