Pakistan crashed out of the World Cup after falling to a 93-run loss to England in their final group game.
However, their fate was sealed the moment England chose to bat first after winning the toss at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday.
With England setting Pakistan a target of 338, Babar Azam and Co. needed to chase it down in 6.2 overs. They could only manage 244 and fell to a defeat.
Pakistan have had a dismal run in the World Cup losing four of their nine matches which include defeat to Afghanistan.

According to Pakistani media outlet Geonews, Babar is already seeking guidance from his close circle like former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja, and especially from his father about what should be his future course of action.
