Babar Azam’s leadership and batting form have come under intense scrutiny. His recent performances as captain have failed to inspire the team, and his personal batting average of just over 100 in four matches has been below expectations. This underwhelming performance has led to significant criticism and online trolling.
Adding to the pressure, a video has surfaced showing Babar Azam struggling against Naseem Shah’s brother Ubaid Shah, in the nets. The clip, which has gone viral, depicts Azam being hit on the body while attempting a pull shot. This footage is likely to further fuel the ongoing debate about the Pakistan captain’s form and fitness. WATCH
Pakistan cricket is facing a potential overhaul after a disastrous T20 World Cup campaign. The team’s early exit from the tournament, marked by shocking defeats to the United States and India, has prompted a critical review. Reports suggest that key players like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi could face demotions in their central contracts for the upcoming season.
These potential changes reflect the PCB’s determination to address the team’s shortcomings. While the impact of these measures remains uncertain, they signal a significant shift in Pakistan cricket as the nation seeks to rebuild its cricket fortunes.
