Pakistan cricket team’s all-rounder Imad Wasim has recently made a big statement on the decision of the Pakistan Cricket Board to appoint Babar Azam as the captain again. Imad Wasim says that not only he but the whole country was surprised by this decision of the PCB.

It is worth noting that after the Cricket World Cup 2023 held in India, Babar Azam left the captaincy of Pakistan in all three formats. After this, PCB handed over the captaincy to Shan Masood in Test cricket and Shaheen Afridi in T20 format.

However, after losing the T20 series against New Zealand 4-1, the PCB removed Shaheen from the captaincy and once again made Babar Azam the captain of the team in white ball cricket. This was Shaheen’s first series as captain.

On the other hand, now Imad Wasim has given a big statement on all this. Wasim says that Pakistan has once again flopped under the leadership of Babar and now his captaincy is in danger.

Imad Wasim gave a big statement

Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Saj Sadiq, Imad Wasim said – I was surprised, what can I say about this. But in the end it was the decision of the selectors. Whatever option they thought was good, they chose it and after that selected the team. Not only me but everyone in Pakistan was surprised. So, I cannot say that I was not surprised.

Imad further said on Pakistan’s defeat in the T20 World Cup- Yes, honestly, our performance was not good and we have to accept it, including me. I think our team was good, but it did not succeed. This can happen in any format, especially in T20, but yes, it was disappointing. I was really disappointed, it took me a long time to recover from it.

Ravi Shastri selected Team India’s playing XI for Perth Test, Easwaran was not given place, one name is shocking

The first Test between India and Australia will be played from 22nd November. Ravi Shastri And Team India (Photo Source: Twitter) The 5-match Border Gavaskar Test series to be played between India and Australia is going to start from November 22. Before the start of this series, the biggest tension for Team India is who will they give a chance in the playing XI. Regular captain Rohit Sharma has become a father for the second time and it seems a bit difficult for him to play in the Perth Test. In such a situation, the biggest question is who will open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal in place of Rohit Sharma. Apart from this, the team management will also have to think a lot about what will be the bowling attack of India against Australia. Meanwhile, former Team India coach Ravi Shastri has selected the playing XI, after seeing which the task of the Indian team management has become easier to some extent. Team India’s playing XI for Perth test match Under the coaching of Ravi Shastri, India had defeated Australia at home in the last two Border Gavaskar Trophies. In such a situation, his Gurumantra can be useful for Team India. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, India has the option of two opening batsmen in the form of KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran. But Ravi Shastri believes that India should start the innings by promoting Shubman Gill in place of these two. This year, Gill had decided to leave his opening slot and bat at number 3, but now Team India needs him in the opening. Shastri has selected Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal as openers in his playing XI for the Perth Test, while he has given place to KL Rahul at number-3. Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel will be seen handling the responsibility of the middle order along with Virat Kohli. Jurel scored half-centuries in both innings of the last unofficial Test against Australia A. Apart from this, if we talk about bowling options, the former Indian coach has advised India to go with one spinner and four bowlers. Shastri believes that either Ravindra Jadeja or Washington Sundar should play in the Perth Test along with Jasprit Bumrah, Akashdeep, Mohammed Siraj and Nitish Reddy. Ravi Shastri’s playing XI for Perth Test– Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja/Washington Sundar, Nitish Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj.
