Ever since the Pakistan team was eliminated from the group stage of the T20 World Cup 2024, the team is being criticized everywhere. At the same time, there is also a debate about the captaincy of Babar Azam. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Cricket Board has made a big change in the selection committee and sacked Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razzaq. Now former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has accused the PCB of targeting Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan after the poor performance in the T20 World Cup. According to Basit, a report is being prepared against Rizwan and Afridi to save Babar. Apart from this, he has also criticized Babar Azam for his captaincy in the tournament. Ali also said that all three players should be blamed instead of just two players. 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?”
