In the leaked recording, Ashraf claims that he proposed a compromise to Babar Azam, suggesting that he retain the Test captaincy but relinquish the white-ball captaincy. However, Babar Azam’s response reportedly escalated the situation. Ashraf states, “When I told Babar Azam to remain the Test skipper but leave white-ball captaincy, he told me to send it home.”
The chairman further revealed a Plan B, indicating a contingency strategy if Azam did not agree to the proposed compromise. “I had told Babar Azam that you should keep the Test captaincy; I am thinking of removing you from the white ball. He replied, ‘Well, I will discuss this at home, and then I will tell you the decision.’ Babar Azam called Talha and consulted him, and Talha advised him to leave everything,” Ashraf claims in the audio.
