“I am not a batsman, I am a tailender…” On which question did uncle Iftikhar Ahmed get angry; video went viral

A clip of Iftikhar Ahmed is going viral in which he is describing himself as a tailender and not a batsman. Iftikhar Ahmed (Image Credit- Twitter Iftikhar Ahmed’s career is in danger after continuous poor performances for Pakistan. Once a reliable lower middle-order batsman, Iftikhar failed to perform well for the team in the ODI World Cup and the recently concluded T20 World Cup, after which he was severely criticized by cricket experts. PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi has called for a ‘surgery’ on the Pakistan team after their poor showing in the T20 World Cup and said all underperforming players will be axed. Pakistan have a lot of white-ball cricket to play with series against Australia, South Africa and Zimbabwe before the Champions Trophy in 2025. In such a situation, if Mohsin Naqvi’s words are to be believed, then it will be difficult for Iftikhar to regain his place in the Pakistan team unless he changes his performance. Iftikhar Ahmed has only one way left Iftikhar will have a chance to attract attention in the Champions Cup (Pakistan’s domestic tournament) starting on September 12, where he will play under the leadership of Mohammad Rizwan in the team Wolves. If he wants to make a comeback in the team, he will have to perform brilliantly in this domestic tournament. Meanwhile, recently a clip of Iftikhar is going viral in which he is calling himself a tailender and not a batsman. In the video, the reporter asked Iftikhar about his struggles while batting in the middle order. However, Iftikhar immediately replied saying that he is not a middle-order batsman or an all-rounder but a tailender. Watch video Chacha is angry with Pak captain and management. pic.twitter.com/pjjxsodU13 — Usama Zafar (@Usama7) September 8, 2024 Iftikhar said in the video “I am not a middle order player, I am a tailender. A middle order player or all-rounder plays at 4 or 5 but I play at 7-8 so I am a tailender. Middle order batsmen and all-rounders play at number 4-5 but I bat at number 7-8 so I consider myself a tailender.” What is a tailender in cricket? Lower order batsmen are called tail-enders. Mostly lower order batsmen are bowlers who stay to bat last. However, finisher would be the right word for Iftikhar as he bats well and hits long sixes.

Babar’s captaincy is in danger, now PCB can make this player the captain of Pakistan

(Image Source: Getty Images) After losing the Test series 0-2 against Bangladesh recently, turmoil has once again started in Pakistan cricket. According to the latest reports, Babar Azam may now be stripped of the limited overs captaincy. Babar had given up the captaincy of both formats last year, but before the ODI World Cup held in India, PCB made him the captain again. Now reports are coming out that Mohammad Rizwan can be given the responsibility of limited overs captaincy in place of Babar Azam. This rumor got further fuel when PCB announced 5 captains for the Champions ODI Cup. These 5 captains include Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Haris, but there is no mention of Babar. It is believed that the board is in the mood to take away the captaincy from Babar. Mohammad Rizwan can be made the captain of all three formats According to a Geo News report, there is every possibility of appointing a new captain in place of Babar Azam later this year. The appointment of a new captain for ODIs and T20s may happen before the Australia tour. Pakistan will play a series of three ODIs and three T20 matches against Australia from November 4, which will be very important for the Pak team before the Champions Trophy on their home ground. The report also states that white-ball coach Gary Kirsten had spoken to Pakistan Cricket Board officials and Babar on the matter two months ago. If all the concerned parties agree to choose Rizwan as the captain, he could be appointed captain for all three formats in the future, which could also cast a dark shadow on Shan Masood’s Test captaincy. Let us tell you, under the captaincy of Shan Masood, Pakistan had to face a humiliating defeat in the Test series against Bangladesh recently. In this series, apart from Mohammad Rizwan, no Pakistani batsman was able to leave a mark.

If you have a better player than Babar Azam then you can bring him: Salman Butt strongly supported the experienced player

According to Salman Butt, Babar Azam is currently the best batsman of Pakistan and it is important for everyone to support him in these bad times. Babar Azam (Pic Source-X) Pakistan team’s experienced batsman Babar Azam has not been in his best form for some time. Recently, Pakistan played a two-match Test series against Bangladesh in which Babar Azam’s performance was disappointing. In both these matches, Babar Azam failed to score big for his team. After the end of this series, many former players have criticized Babar Azam fiercely. However, Salman Butt has made a big statement supporting Babar Azam. According to Salman Butt, Babar Azam is currently the best batsman of Pakistan and it is important for everyone to support him in this bad time. He also said that Babar has consistently been in the top 3 in the ICC rankings in T20 and ODI. Salman Butt shared a video on his official YouTube account and said, ‘Why is everyone asking me why I am supporting Babar Azam? Did he score 500 runs because of my support or did I ask people to vote for him? Babar has been Pakistan’s best batsman in the last 4 years and there is no doubt about it. The Pakistan team does not play much Test cricket and they have always been in the top 3 in white ball cricket. He has scored the most runs and there is no one even close to him in the team. If you cannot support your best player and want to remove him then no one can say anything about it. If you have any other player then you should bring him and give him a chance in the team. Babar is not scoring runs but what about the other players?: Salman Butt The former player further said, ‘Yes, I agree that Babar Azam has not lived up to expectations in Test cricket. But is this a matter of concern? If Babar is not performing well then he should be removed but what are the other players doing? Babar did not score runs but what about the other players? When Babar Azam was scoring runs consistently, people started calling him the king. But I was one of the few people who were saying that he is still behind the top players. When someone is scoring runs, people support him but when the same player is going through bad form, people criticize him.
