Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali says that just like Indian batting champion Virat Kohli, Babar Azam will also have to consider resigning as captain of his country to play in the team without reinforcements. I think there is. Azam was heavily criticized by fans and pundits after Pakistan suffered three consecutive defeats in recent major cricket events.
Babar Azam was an exceptional player for the Pakistan team across formats, but his captaincy and on-field strategies were controversial. His poor decision-making caused Pakistan to lose momentum several times. Babar’s overly defensive field placement and bowling changes contributed to the team’s defeat in the ongoingODI World Cup.
In an interview with ARY News, Basit Ali believes that Babar Azam, like Virat Kohli, should step down from the captaincy and focus only on batting to improve his performance in international cricket. There is.
“I said on my channel a year ago that Babar Azam is a very good batsman. Like Virat Kohli, he too should give up the captaincy. . Virat stood behind and watched him perform. His performance will definitely improve,” said Basit Ali.
“But as we all know, certain people on social media have distorted my words and said that I hate Babar Azam and that he is a traitor,” Basit said. Ali added.
Babar Azam-led Pakistan team’s World Cup campaign took a turn for the worse after their loss to India in Ahmedabad. The Green Army is increasing its pressure on Pakistan after its defeats against Afghanistan and Australia.
Pakistan’s 2023 World Cup campaign ended with three consecutive losses. With two wins and three losses, Babar & Co. currently sit in fifth place in the World Cup points standings. They will look to improve further in Friday’s game against South Africa.
It will be difficult for the Men in Green to advance to the semi-finals with only two wins in five games. The loss to Afghanistan will be particularly difficult for them to accept given that they were unable to defend a total score ostensibly in favor of the spinners.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) internal sources say Babar Azam will be targeted and may even resign as captain if the team leaves the tournament without making it to the semi-finals. He claimed to get it. To make the World Cup.
