New Delhi. There was an explosion in world cricket on the night of 1-2 October. Late in the night the captains of not one but two countries resigned. These captains include Babar Azam of Pakistan and Tim Southee of New Zealand. Poor performance is believed to be the reason for both of them leaving the captaincy. New Zealand team will play a test match against India this month.
New Zealand recently had to face an innings defeat against Sri Lanka. A day after this, Tim Southee left the captaincy. Saudi said that it is a great honor to captain the Blackcaps. I played this role to my full potential. But I think this is the right time to step down.

New Zealand team has to tour India this month. Tom Latham will take charge of the New Zealand team on the India tour. Talking about Tim Southee, he has captained in 14 test matches. Of these, New Zealand won 6 and lost the same number of matches. Two matches were drawn.
Tim Southee leaving the captaincy probably won't bother New Zealand that much. Reason- Kiwi Cricket Board has given captaincy opportunity to Tom Latham several times. This wicketkeeper batsman has a lot of captaincy experience. But it will not be easy for Pakistan to find a captain.
The news of resignation of Babar Azam and Tim Southee came almost at the same time. Babar Azam said that he wants to focus on his batting. That's why he is leaving the captaincy. However, the truth is that Babar Azam was under pressure to leave the captaincy after his poor performance in the T20 World Cup. Former captain Zaheer Abbas has even demanded to drop Babar Azam from the team.
