NEW DELHI: Criticism continues to flow in after Pakistan‘s dismal show in the T20 World Cup in the United States and West Indies.
Pakistan were stunned by the US losing in the Super Over and also went down to archrivals India by 6 runs.
Pakistan defeated Canada and Ireland but that wasn’t enough to take them through the Super Eights stage.
And as the case has always been, it’s the captain of the ship that gets the most criticism and in this case Babar Azam has been copping flak from all over, for his batting and captaincy as well, specially the way they pressed the panic button against India after cruising at one stage.
Now a video has surfaced in which former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik has slammed Babar Azam saying that the Pakistan can’t fit in any top international side.
Speaking at a talk show after the India-England semifinal, Shoaib Malik asks, “Who is our best player? Our best player is Babar Azam. I am just talking about the top 4-5 teams. Can Babar fit in the playing XI of those teams? Of Australia, of India or of England in just this particular format? The answer is NO!”
