While Babar’s position as captain is sure to face some scrutiny, the skipper suggested he was not in a position to decide whether he would continue in that role going forward.
“I have not thought about it (yet),” Babar continued.
“When I go back (to Pakistan), we will discuss all the things that happened here. When they gave (the captaincy) back to me, it was the (PBC’s) decision. The decision is theirs.”
While Babar took responsibility, he noted that his entire squad needs to focus on being better in the moments that matter.
The margin between success and failure for Pakistan at the World Cup was razor thin – they lost in a Super Over to the USA and fell an agonising six runs short of India’s total.
“There are 11 players and each of them has a role,” Babar also admitted.
“I cannot play in every player’s place. I think we as a team have not been able to apply, follow and finish things. We have to settle down and accept that we didn’t play well as a team. It’s the fault of all the 15 players. We didn’t execute. We will sit and talk about it.”
