Babar Azam, former captain of Pakistan cricket team (Babar Azam) was reportedly forced by the team management to play in the fifth and final T20I against New Zealand. Babar Azam did not want to play in that match, despite which he was included in Pakistan’s playing eleven.

Let us tell you, Pakistan’s performance on the New Zealand tour was disappointing, because they could win only the last match. Actually, Babar Azam wanted to take a break from the fifth T20I match, because he was not completely fit, but he was forced to join the playing eleven. Babar wanted a young talent to come into the limelight, as the Pakistan cricket team had already lost the T20I series.

Babar Azam was forced to do so

Nevertheless, despite his initial refusal, the Pakistan cricket team management sent him back to the field. In the fifth match against New Zealand, Babar Azam was seen struggling with his injury and he also dropped a catch. After being sent to bat lower down the order, Babar was able to contribute only 13 runs from 24 balls. He did not field much, but Pakistan won the match by 42 runs.

Meanwhile, according to the report of Cricket Pakistan, Babar Azam said that he is suffering from groin injury and due to this he will not play in this final match to be held in Christchurch. However, despite his condition, the team management decided to field him.

The injury was not that serious!

Meanwhile, sources close to Babar revealed that the injury was not as serious as it seemed, and Babar was ready to rest, especially considering that Pakistan had already lost the series. Also, Babar had the idea of ​​giving a chance to a young player in his place, but the team management did not allow this to happen.
