Shoaib Akhtar supports Babar Azam: Pakistan has defeated England 2-1 in the three-Test series. The last two matches were completely dominated by spin bowlers. Till Pakistan won the last match, batsmen were out a total of 31 times, out of which 29 wickets were in the name of spin bowlers. Apart from this, Babar Azam also remained the center of discussion in the Pakistan-England series, who was dropped after the first match of the series. Meanwhile, veteran Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar says that it is not right for the PCB to throw out a big player like Babar Azam in one fell swoop.
Did not go well with Babar Azam
On the topic of Babar Azam on his YouTube channel, Shoaib Akhtar said that PCB should have talked to Babar as per the relaxed process. Akhtar said, “I believe that Babar Azam should not have been fired by humiliating him. He was given too strong a message to correct his performance. I believe that firing Babar for not being in form was the right decision. There was, but the process of removing them was not correct.”
Babar Azam has played four test matches in the year 2024, in which he has been able to score only 148 runs in 8 innings. One reason for ousting Babar could be that he has not been able to score even a fifty leave alone a century in the last 22 months. His highest score in Test matches since the beginning of 2023 has been 41 runs, which he made against Australia in December 2023.
atrocities against babar azam
Taking his point forward, Shoaib Akhtar said, “At present, it is a difficult time for Babar. The board and management are against him. There is news of not taking Fakhar Zaman with Babar on the Australian tour. In my view, this is like committing atrocities. If you had to explain to Babar, you should have put him in a difficult situation. I believe that Babar will have to answer the criticism with his bat.
