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.
