Fakhar Zaman supported Virat Kohli Let us tell you that after Babar Azam was ruled out of the remaining two matches of the Test series against England, Fakhar Zaman has shared a post on his official X account. In this post Zaman said- It is worrying to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India did not keep Virat Kohli on the bench during their difficult period between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21 and 26.50 respectively. If we are considering sidelining our key batsman, who is Pakistan’s best player ever, it could send a deeply negative message to the entire team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button. Instead of weakening our key players, we should focus on protecting them. It’s concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn’t bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan… — Fakhar Zaman (@FakharZamanLive) October 13, 2024 Pakistani team for the second and third test matches Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamir Jamal, Abdullah Shafiq, Hasibullah (wk), Kamran Ghulam, Mehran Mumtaz, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Noman Ali, Sam Ayub, Sajid Khan, Salman Ali Aga and Zahid Mehmood.

Both of them are very good players and can handle this important responsibility well.
