Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, has accepted full responsibility for the team's demoralising 0-3 series loss to England and promised to lead the team's defence.
After England won the last Test by an eight-wicket margin, Babar noted at a news conference that his team lacked experienced players, and that the loss of their key bowlers was a big setback.
"We played some brilliant cricket in bits, but generally we did not finish the games well," he remarked. "And we, too, are really dissatisfied with the outcomes and the series loss."
Since their main bowlers were out of shape, Babar said, his team thought that their strength was in the batting department. However, losing consecutive wickets on a number of occasions proved expensive for the squad and contributed to the losses.
Both teams received equal pitches. We must give the English squad respect for how they handled the circumstances and played the game, he continued.
The Pakistani captain acknowledged that the team is still in the developing phase and that he would not be able to make significant changes in the next two weeks.
We need to create the team, he remarked.
"We need to support the young players, give them fair opportunities, and some time."
Babar said, "I love the leadership and try my best to do whatever I can for the team," when asked about the increased responsibility that would come with the position.
The Pakistani captain said that the management of the squad had a wealth of knowledge and could provide valuable services.
In the end, it is our job as players to carry out those ideas, he continued, "their role is to share their expertise and plans with us.
