This is a list of Pakistani national cricket captains who have represented the Pakistani national cricket team in international cricket at a professional level. Pakistan became an official member of the Imperial Cricket Conference (now the International Cricket Council) on 28 July 1952.
The team's greatest successes in One Day International cricket arrived in 1992, when they won the World Cup under the captaincy of Imran Khan. Their most important Twenty20 cricket success came in 2009 when they won the 2009 ICC World Twenty20, under the leadership of Younis Khan and another important victory is the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy under the leadership of Sarfraz Ahmed. Babar Azam is the only Pakistan captain who has scored centuries in all formats as a captain. Babar Azam now has the most centuries for Pakistan as a captain.

[edit]Test cricket captains
[edit]This is a list of cricketers who have captained the Pakistan national cricket team for at least one Test match (not including vice-captains and other players who have deputised on the field for any period of time during a match where the captain has been unable to play).
Where a player has a dagger (†) next to a Test match series in which he captained at least one Test, that denotes that player deputized for the appointed captain or were appointed by the home authority for a minor proportion in a series.
The current captain is Shan Masood[1] He was appointed in November 2023 after Babar Azam's resignation as captain of Pakistan in all 3 formats following the 2023 Cricket World Cup.
