The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reappointed Babar Azam as the captain in the limited overs format. The PCB announced the news on Sunday (March 31) through their official X handle.

After stepping down from captaincy in all formats, Babar Azam was playing as a regular player. Within four months of appointing Shaheen Afridi as the T20I captain, PCB decided to remove him from the role and reinstate Babar with leadership duties.

As the announcement was made, it was a mixed reaction in Pakistan. A section of fans has turned on against the PCB for reappointing Babar, while another has started celebrating as the 'King' returns to his role.

A plethora of memes and congratulatory messages were hurled across the X handle of PCB. Here is how social media reacted to Babar Azam's return as the captain of Pakistan.

"Brother this is pcb, the most unprofessional board ever, idhar chairman ko nahi pata hota usne kab tak rehna hai," the reply wrote.

This fan believes what happened with Shaheen Afridi was unfair and questioned the decision by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
