Where does accountability lie?
The responsibility is shared. The PCB must create conditions – quality pitches, balanced selection and a realistic workload – that give Babar a genuine chance to play a big innings. Coaches like Arthur can motivate, but they cannot manufacture form. Meanwhile, the fans, whose voices echo on X, must temper nostalgia with constructive pressure, demanding transparency from the board rather than endless chants of “Babar, give us a hundred.” The real question is not whether Babar will score 102 again, but whether the cricketing ecosystem will allow a captain to convert personal brilliance into collective prosperity.
Until the next official scorecard confirms another century, the anniversary will remain a fan‑driven narrative, and the PCB’s ledger will continue to feel the public cost of unfulfilled expectations.
