Also, Azam Khan has been selected for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 starting from June 1. It will be worth seeing how Azam is going to perform in the big tournament for the Pakistan cricket team?

Mediocrity rules here in every department. Shameless people who persisted with him must be charged and sentenced. This is a criminal act, not a simple mistake. — Mubasher Lucman (@mubasherlucman) May 30, 2024 Best of Azam Khan #ENGvPAK pic.twitter.com/VaXQa8FMFc — Professor CR (@TheProfessorCR) May 30, 2024 Azam Khan is an embarrassment to international cricket pic.twitter.com/Ferp0ys5nf — yang goi (@GongR1ght) May 30, 2024 On the other hand, if we talk about the third T20 match between England and Pakistan, then England won this match played at Kingston Oval, London by 7 wickets.

‘The combination has gone haywire because of him’, Rameez Raja’s harsh words about this player
The Pakistan team is currently on a tour of England for a four-match T20 series Ramiz Raja (Image Credit- Twitter) The Pakistan team is currently on a tour of England for a four-match T20 series. Where after the first T20I was washed out due to rain, the host team defeated Pakistan by 23 runs in the second T20I. Now the third match of the series is to be played on May 28. Before this, former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja has given a big statement. Pakistan recently appointed Gary Kirsten as the head coach of the team, who tried to try Saim Ayub as an opening batsman. But his move backfired and Ayub failed to score runs. Let us tell you that Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam were Pakistan’s primary pair in T20I and this pair showed impressive performance. Now after the defeat against England, former Pakistan PCB president Ramiz Raja has said that due to Saim Ayub the entire combination of the Pakistan team has gone haywire. I don’t think Pakistan should stick with Saim- Rameez Raj Rameez Raja said on his YouTube channel, winning or losing is part of the game, but Pakistan could have competed better and could have won in the end, but they made mistakes. First of all, let’s talk about Pakistan’s problems. He said, first Saim Ayub is coming as an opener. I don’t think Pakistan should stick with Saim. He has been given a lot of chances and you have to perform better in international cricket. Rameez Raja further said that, he is immature. You should try the opening pair of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam again. Because this is the strength of Pakistan and they understand each other’s game. The whole combination has gone haywire because of Saim.
