Babar Azam (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has made a big statement while comparing Arshad Nadeem and Babar Azam, who recently won gold medals in javelin throw competition for Pakistan. Ali says that it may take many years for Babar to achieve the fame that Arshad has achieved. It is worth noting that in Paris Olympics 2024, Arshad won the gold medal by throwing the javelin with a record distance of 92.97 meters. Whereas India’s Neeraj Chopra had to settle for the silver medal with a distance of 89.45 meters. Arshad has become the first athlete for Pakistan to win any award and medal in track and field in Olympics after 28 years. Basit Ali gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently while comparing Arshad Nadeem and Babar Azam, Basit Ali said in an interview to Cricket Pakistan- Cricket is a different game, but the work that Arshad Nadeem has done for this country and the fame he has achieved, it will take many years for Babar Azam to achieve that because Babar plays a team game. He does not play any individual game, Arshad plays individually. He has won the gold medal alone. Basit further said- If the Pakistan cricket team goes to the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028 and wins the gold medal there, then we can compare. But at this time Babar cannot be compared to Arshad Nadeem. Arshad is the hero of Pakistan at this time. A look at Babar Azam’s cricket career It is worth noting that after the arrival of Babar Azam in the Pakistan cricket team, which is famous for its fast bowlers, the definition of batting has changed. Babar is often compared to some of the best batsmen in the world. If we give you information about Babar’s performance for Pakistan, the 29-year-old player has so far played 52 Tests, 117 ODIs and 123 T20 matches for Pakistan, in which he has scored 3898 Test, 5729 ODI and 4145 T20 runs.

But there are some things in which Babar Azam is similar to Virat Kohli. Speaking on Fox Cricket’s YouTube channel, Khawaja said- “He doesn’t always bat like Virat. But when you watch him bat he looks like Virat” Babar Azam was a superflop in the ODI World Cup The ODI World Cup 2023 was held in India and in this mega tournament, Team India had to face defeat in the final against Australia. Pakistan team also came to India for this tournament. But playing under the leadership of Babar Azam, the team could not perform as expected.

Now former Pakistan batsman Shoaib Malik has given an important advice to Babar Azam. According to Shoaib Malik, Babar Azam should now step down from captaincy and focus completely on his batting. According to him, Babar Azam should understand that this was a bad time which is over now and even better days are yet to come. Shoaib Malik said during an interview with Cricket Pakistan, ‘There are ups and downs in life, especially when you are a cricketer from the subcontinent. Babar Azam should stay strong at this time. He should play as a player and step down from captaincy. This is my belief. Whenever Babar Azam plays as a player, he also performs tremendously for the team. But I believe that he should stay away from captaincy.’ Who should be appointed as Pakistan’s limited overs captain? Shoaib Malik believes that Fakhar Zaman should be given the captaincy of the Pakistan team in limited overs cricket. According to him, modern day cricket is being played at a very fast pace and Fakhar Zaman can play this role very well. Shoaib Malik further said, ‘If we talk about today’s aggressive cricket, then Fakhar Zaman should be given the captaincy of the limited overs team because he has the vision to lead the team.’ Let us tell you, Babar Azam was the highest run-scorer for Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

This former Pakistani player wants to see Shan Masood as captain in place of Babar Azam, read the big news
Under the leadership of Babar, Pakistan was eliminated from the T20 World Cup 2024 after losing in the group stage itself. Shan Masood and Babar Azam (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricket team captain and opening batsman Salman Butt has made a big statement about the future captain of the Pakistan cricket team. If Salman is to be believed, he is now seen advocating the removal of Babar Azam from the captaincy and making Shan Masood the new captain. It is worth noting that Salman’s statement has come at a time when Pakistan was eliminated from the group stage in the recently concluded ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The Pak team had to be eliminated from the tournament after losing against the USA, after which the team was criticized by the cricket world as well as the Pakistani cricket fraternity. Salman Butt wants to see Shan Masood as captain Let us tell you that in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel regarding the new captain of the Pakistan cricket team, Salman Butt said – There are some flaws in the team due to which the players are not able to perform despite having the skill. There is someone in the team who does not have any strategy for planning, but has a lot of attitude. Seeing this attitude in the team, I will obviously make Shan Masood the new captain. It is worth noting that when Babar Azam resigned from the captaincy after the early exit of the Pakistan cricket team from the ICC World Cup 2023, Shan Masood was appointed as the new captain. However, before the start of the T20 World Cup 2024, in a dramatic manner, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) again handed over the command of the team in white ball cricket to Babar, but the team did not get the desired results. On the other hand, Shan Masood has a lot of experience in captaincy. Currently, he is leading Pakistan in Test cricket. Apart from this, he also leads Yorkshire in the County Championship and Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Well, now it will be interesting to see whether PCB gives Shan Masood the captaincy of the white ball along with the red ball or not? However, apart from Masood, young fast bowler Shaheen Afridi and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan are also in the race for captaincy.
This player will not stop flattering Babar Azam, he said something that will make you laugh
Pakistan fast bowler Hasan Ali believes that Babar Azam has not performed badly in recent ICC tournaments except the 2023 World Cup in India. Babar Azam (Image Credit- Twitter X) Pakistan’s journey in the T20 World Cup 2024 was very embarrassing. Under the captaincy of Babar Azam, the Pakistan team could not even make it to the Super 8 and was eliminated in the first stage of the tournament itself. Their biggest setback was losing to a team like America. After that, a big defeat to India in the World Cup tournament. Babar Azam’s performance as a captain was not at the top. However, Pakistan fast bowler Hasan Ali believes that Babar Azam has not performed badly in recent ICC tournaments except the 2023 World Cup in India. Hasan also called Babar Azam the king of the Pakistan team’s batting unit and also said that he sees improvement in all aspects in him. Babar was playing the ODI World Cup held in India for the first time. He was the third-highest run-scorer for Pakistan with 320 runs in nine matches at an average of 40. Only 4 half-centuries came from his bat, but he could not give a match-winning performance even once. The result was that the Pakistan team was eliminated from the group stage itself. What statement did Hasan Ali give in defense of Babar Azam But let’s read what Hasan Ali said in defense of Babar Azam- “Babar Azam is the king of the Pakistani batting unit, along with that he has to improve. I also need to improve and according to me everyone needs to improve. You can see that he has improved a lot. It is not that he is not doing anything. Wherever he performed in batting, I do not think he has performed poorly. Yes, he did not perform that well in the ODI World Cup played in India because he did not score a century.”
Former Pakistani cricketer accused PCB of protecting Babar Azam, said this big thing
Following Pakistan cricket team’s defeat in the T20 World Cup 2024, Babar’s captaincy has come under heavy criticism. Babar Azam (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Pakistan cricket team had a disappointing performance in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024. The Pakistani team was knocked out of the tournament after losing against the USA in the group stage. After this performance of the Pak team, it was criticized a lot in the cricket world. After this, the blame for Pakistan’s defeat started being put on Babar Azam. But now former cricketer Basit Ali has made a big allegation on the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and said that it is protecting the team captain Babar Azam in the white ball format. He has also said that Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi are being targeted instead of Babar. Basit Ali made a big statement about Babar Azam Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Cricket Pakistan, Basit Ali said- A report is being prepared against Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan that they have formed a separate group, which is wrong. Do not put your faults on others, otherwise Pakistan cricket will be ruined. If you think Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam are not on the same pitch, then you should remove them completely. Don’t just blame the other two and make the third one a hero, it would be wrong. Ali further said- Everyone knows how Babar Azam has captained, not only in this tournament but also in the World Cup 2023. When you gave the last over to Mohammad Nawaz in Melbourne in the last T20 World Cup against India, did it not open your eyes. How would a player feel after being removed from captaincy after just five matches. Imagine how he must have felt. Let us tell you that fast bowler Shaheen Afridi was made the captain of T20 cricket by the PCB for some time, but before the T20 World Cup 2024, the captaincy was once again handed over to Babar Azam.

Pakistan’s cricket will be destroyed – Basit Ali Times of India quoted Basit as saying, “The preparations that are being made, the reports that are being made are against Shaheen Shah Afridi and Rizwan. They have formed a grouping. Which is wrong. Those who are making these reports, those who have it in their mind to pour their wealth on them, don’t do this. Pakistan’s cricket will be destroyed!” He further said, “I am saying these things now, God forbid if this thing happens then it is your mistake. If you think that Rizwan, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Babar Azam are not on the same pitch. If you want to remove them, then remove all three. It is not that you make two of them scapegoats and the third one a hero.” He said, “It is wrong. What kind of captaincy Babar has shown. Not just in this tournament, he has been captaining since the World Cup. He made Nawaz bowl the last over in Melbourne. Weren’t your eyes open then?”

A video of Shahid Afridi is going viral in which he said, ‘They should first decide on the captain or coach and then give time. As far as Babar is concerned, he has also captained a lot and has been given a lot of opportunities. As soon as the World Cup is over, the captain is the first one to be blamed. He has got enough opportunities in 2 to 3 World Cups and two to three Asia Cups.’ Pakistan had a disappointing performance in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Let us tell you, Pakistan’s performance was very poor in this entire tournament.

“Remove Babar first”- Shahid Afridi is not happy with the removal of Abdul Razzaq and Wahab Riaz
The PCB has removed Riaz and Razzaq from the selection committee, marking the beginning of the ‘surgery’ that chief Mohsin Naqvi had promised. The board released a statement that read (via Deccan Herald): “We have informed Abdul Razzaq and Wahab Riaz that they will no longer be required in the National Selection Committee. The PCB will provide further updates on the composition of the selection committee in due course.” Meanwhile, Afridi spoke to reporters in London and said no player has got as many opportunities as Babar Azam as captain. As quoted by CricketPakistan.pk, the former chief selector said: “No captain has ever had so many chances. Usually, the captain is the first one to be dropped right after the World Cup. We have also led the team, like me, Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq, but Babar has got the most opportunities. Let’s take a decisive step and support him wholeheartedly whatever he brings. To be honest, this kind of surgery is beyond my understanding.” PCB has removed only Razzaq and Wahab Riaz for now, but can take many big decisions in the next few days. Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi has also held two important meetings, in which white-ball coach Gary Kirsten and red-ball coach Jason Gillespie were present. During this, there was a discussion about improving the team. Not only this, he also met more than two dozen former and current cricketers to bring about improvement in Pakistan cricket.
