The Pakistan Cricket Board on Thursday hinted that skipper Babar Azam's captaincy could be on the line if the team's campaign in the ongoing World Cup fails.

Pakistan are in a must-win situation against South and a loss will virtually end their hopes of progressing to the semi-finals, as they have suffered three consecutive defeats in five matches so far.

At present, the PCB encourages fans, former players and stakeholders to rally behind the team as they strive to make a triumphant comeback in the mega-event," said PCB in a statement.
