‘He is cricket for Pakistan…’ Rameez Raja on Babar Azam after being dropped from Pakistan’s Test team

Babar has not been selected for the remaining two Test matches against England. Ramiz Raja and babar Azam (Image Credit- Twitter Currently a three-match Test series is being played between Pakistan and England. So after the poor performance in the first test match, the Pakistan Cricket Board has taken a big decision and decided to drop some prominent cricketers including former captain Babar Azam from the test team. After this decision of PCB, the cricket world and many Pakistani players themselves criticized the board. On the other hand, now a new name has been added to this list of former Pakistani captain and well-known cricket commentator Ramiz Raja. Ramiz Raja gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently while discussing with Sky Sports, Rameez Raja said – It should have been for Babar to decide whether he wanted to leave the playing eleven or not. I think it was a knee-jerk reaction, the new selectors had come in, the general consensus was that he needed rest and he was completely dropped from the team. Now we need to understand that he sells cricket for Pakistan. And the debate is going on in Pakistan right now whether this will be another failure for Babar Azam or whether he is going to make a comeback. This keeps things interesting. Right now I don’t see any player in this Pakistan team who can sell cricket, because the sponsors are also a little cautious. Pakistan is continuously losing and now there is no real superstar playing in this test match. On the other hand, currently the second test match between Pakistan and England is being played at Multan Cricket Stadium. It will be worth seeing that after losing the first match, can Pakistan make a comeback in this match after such big changes or not?

PAK vs ENG: Our plan regarding pitch preparation for the Test series was completely clear: Azhar Mahmood

In the first Test match played between these two teams, England defeated Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs. Pakistan players failed to show tremendous performance in the first test. Now the second test between these two teams is starting from October 15 at the same venue. Let us tell you that in the first test match played between Pakistan and England, the pitch of Multan was heavily criticized. Recently, Pakistan’s assistant coach Azhar Mahmood revealed that he wanted to use the pitch well for the series against Bangladesh and England. According to ESPNcricinfo, Azhar Mahmood said, ‘We had a clear plan as to what kind of pitch we have to prepare for Bangladesh and also what pitch we have to play against England. Our thinking was that against Bangladesh the wicket would be helpful for the fast bowlers and against England there would be a spin pitch. We had told the curator that the ball should spin after the second day of play in the first Test match. But even on the fifth day the spinners did not get any help on the pitch. I hope to see a turn on the 9th day. You have to take 20 wickets. We were thinking how we can take this wicket. We thought that this pitch should be used in the best possible way and we can take 20 wickets against England only with the help of spin. The players who are coming here are all experienced: Azhar Mahmood Azhar Mahmood further said, ‘All the players who are coming here are experienced. All Pakistani players are experienced and have been playing first class cricket for a long time. He knows his home pitches and I don’t think there will be much pressure on him. Regarding Babar Azam’s drop in the second test, Pakistan’s assistant coach further said, ‘Babar Azam is our number one player in terms of technique and ability. Pakistan has a lot of cricket and that is why the selection committee has decided to rest Babar Azam. Pakistan also has to visit Australia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. We should use our situation in a great way. The reason we announced the team for one Test match was so that we could make all the changes. After this we are going to Australia to play white ball cricket. We know that Shaheen and other important players should be rested because after this we have to play cricket non-stop for 6 months.

PAK vs ENG: Babar Azam may be out of the second test, new selection committee has taken the decision

Babar Azam (Photo Source: If media reports are to be believed, after Pakistan’s embarrassing defeat to England in the first Test in Multan, former captain Babar Azam may be dropped from the team. Babar has been going through a poor form in all formats for the last few months. He scored only 30 and 5 runs in both the innings against England on a batting-friendly pitch in the first Test, after which he is in danger of being dropped from the team. Hours after Pakistan’s defeat in the Multan Test, the Pakistan Cricket Board formed a new selection committee, which has reportedly decided to drop Babar from the second Test squad. Babar Azam has not been able to score even a half-century in Test cricket for a long time. Babar Azam left the captaincy of all three formats after the World Cup 2023. After this Shan Masood was made the captain. Babar Azam may be dropped from the second test match According to the report of ESPN Cricinfo, the exclusion of Babar Azam has been recommended by the new selection committee, whose first meeting was held in Lahore a few hours after Pakistan’s crushing defeat in the Multan Test match. After this meeting, such reports have also come out that Shan Masood may be forced to leave the Test captaincy after this series or the Pakistan Cricket Board may remove him from the captaincy. Talking about Babar Azam, he has not been able to score even a half-century in Test cricket in 17 innings. The last time he played an innings of 50 or more runs in Test cricket was in December 2022. His average in Test cricket is also continuously falling. At one time his test average was more than 50, but now it has come down to 43.92. Even in the rankings, he is out of the top 10. At the same time, under the captaincy of Shan Masood, Pakistan team has not been able to win even a test match yet. He has captained the team in 6 test matches so far and the team has lost in every match.

Shoaib Akhtar is upset with the continuous poor performance of Pakistan team, gave a big statement after the defeat against England in the first test.

In the first test, England players performed brilliantly and won the match by an innings and 47 runs. Shoaib Akhtar (Photo Source: Twitter) The three-match Test series between Pakistan and England has started. The first match of this test series was played at Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan. In the first test, England players performed brilliantly and won the match by an innings and 47 runs. Talking about Pakistan team, they batted very well in the first innings but the team’s bowlers failed to leave their mark in this match due to which a lot of pressure was put on the hosts. Not only this, the batsmen of Pakistan team also performed disappointingly in the second innings. Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has given his side regarding the performance of Pakistan team. He is unhappy with his team’s performance. Let us tell you that despite scoring 556 runs in the first innings, Pakistan had to face defeat in this match. According to Cricket Pakistan, Shoaib Akhtar said, ‘You will reap what you sow. In this period I have seen the decline of Pakistan cricket. It’s okay to lose but the game should be close. However, whatever we saw in the last two days, we have given up all hope from the team. England scored more than 800 and also Bangladesh beat you. Fans are saying that Pakistan should withdraw its name from the World Test Championship: Shoaib Akhtar The former player further said, ‘Fans are saying that Pakistan should withdraw its name from the World Test Championship. The ICC must be wondering whether we should send teams to Pakistan to keep the Test level alive? This is really heart breaking. This is very bad news for the cricket fans of Pakistan and also for the upcoming talented players. I would request the PCB to fix this thing as soon as possible. If your management and captain are weak then factionalism is seen there. If the captain is selfish then there is factionalism. Same is the case with coaches who are afraid of the captain. Captains give their views regarding selection and this has been going on since my playing days.

Pakistan Cricket Board is going to remove Shan Masood from captaincy! Same to same happened with Babar Azam also

After this disappointing performance of the Pakistan team, captain Shan Masood’s captaincy is in danger, as per the report of Cricket Pakistan. Shan Masood (Source X) After Pakistan’s crushing defeat in the Multan Test, criticism over the team’s declining performance has intensified. Recently, the team could not bounce back after losing the series 0-2 in the Bangladesh tour, and also faced a crushing defeat in the first Test against England. A flat pitch was demanded for the Multan Test, in which Pakistan scored 556 runs in the first innings. But England proved to be the lion and declared their innings after scoring 823 runs and all out Pakistan for 220 runs in the second innings and won by 47 runs and an innings. However, on 11 October, a new record was set for Pakistan cricket, when they became the first team to lose a match by an innings despite scoring over 500 runs in the first innings. After this disappointing performance of the Pakistan team, the captaincy of captain Shan Masood is in danger, as cricket pakistan As stated in the report. Pakistan Cricket Board is going to snatch the captaincy of Shan Masood Not only in Test cricket, Pakistan team is also performing poorly in white ball cricket. After reaching the final in the 2022 T20 World Cup, the team has consistently failed to reach the knockout stages of ICC events. Apart from this, after the disappointing defeat of the 2023 World Cup, Babar Azam was stripped of the captaincy and Shaheen Afridi was made the captain of the T20 team. Captaincy was also taken away from Babar Azam Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie were appointed coaches of white-ball and red-ball cricket respectively. But things got worse when Babar Azam was given the captaincy again before the tournament and two months after Pakistan’s exit from the group stage, he decided or was forced by someone to leave the captaincy. The current times of Pakistan cricket are going through difficult times, where the decline in the performance of the team is clearly visible. Be it Test cricket or white ball cricket, teams everywhere are struggling and need concrete improvements to move forward. In such a situation, the board will be looking for a new captain.
