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.

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.
