Fakhar Zaman’s anger over Babar Azam’s exclusion.
Pakistan had to face the most embarrassing defeat in Test cricket history against England on the ground of Multan. Now its effect has been seen in the team announced for the second and third Test matches, in which they have decided to drop former team captain Babar Azam, who has been struggling with poor form for quite some time. This decision was not expected from the selection committee of Pakistan Cricket Board but they have surprised everyone by excluding Babar. Apart from this, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi have also not got a place for the last 2 test matches of the series. With Babar out, now Pakistan team’s opening batsman Fakhar Zaman has made a tweet in which he has raised questions on this decision of the board and has given the example of Virat Kohli.
Kohli was not dropped from the team during his poor form.
After the announcement of the Pakistani team for the last 2 Test matches against England, Fakhar Zaman tweeted that it is worrying to hear the advice of dropping Babar Azam. The Indian team did not drop Virat Kohli from the team despite his bad phase from 2020 to 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21 and 26.50. If we are considering sidelining our leading batsman, who is the best batsman Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deep negative message to the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; Instead of undermining our key players, we should give them opportunities.
Babar could not play even a single half-century in the last 18 test innings.
Babar Azam is going through the worst phase of his career so far in Test cricket, in which he has not been able to score even a single half-century in the last 18 innings. Apart from this, Babar was also not seen performing anything special with the bat in limited overs cricket. Just before the start of the Test series against England, Babar had decided to step down from the captaincy of the Pakistani team in the limited overs format. However, now being out of the Test team is no less than a big shock for Babar.
