The Pakistan cricket team and its players have been the subject of social media bashing. Fans and former cricketers have fiercely criticized Pakistan’s early exit from the T20 World Cup 2024. Others have gone as far as to issue statements of defamation regarding Babar Azam and his team. As a result, there are reports that legal action could be taken against the people who have unjustly attacked Babar and his team.
During the T20 World Cup, many YouTubers and former cricketers have also accused Babar of misconduct. Others have been threatened with legal action. In the meantime, Senior Pakistani Cricketer Ahmed Shahzad further lashed out at Babar and the Pakistan Team.
Legal Action Threats, Ahmed Shahzad’s Condemnation
Ahmed Shahzad is not deterred by the legal threats taken on Babar Azam and what he said about his captaincy decisions over the last few years. He lashed out at Babar Azam for shunning those who have done well in domestic cricket and only promoting a select group of cricketers.
Ahmed Shahzad recommended the talented players going unnoticed by alleging against Babar Azam in his picks. He charges Babar for fixing friends in the team, either bowling or bats and if they fail to perform, then he makes them a fielder.
Ahmed Shahzad Called Out Babar Azam For Double Standards
Ahmed Shahzad blasted Babar Azam for double standards. Blind said those who used to slam Azam are now playing with him under his captaincy. There was nothing in it for Babar Azam so why wasn’t he hurt then, and why didn’t he complain to the same selectors who treated his captaincy with suspicion before?
According to sources, the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) legal team is working hard at this point as they are on a mission to punish or reprimand all those who disrespected Babar Azam and the national side during the World Cup.
Ahmed Shahzad hit back, saying that despite losing three World Cups and two Asia Cups, Babar was made captain again in just a matter of two months. Ahmed Shahzad asked how this was a departure and then made an argument by saying the hurt sentiments are not just of Babar but also of fans.
Other Stars Have Dealt With Criticism Well![](https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2158033005/photo/lauderhill-florida-babar-azam-of-pakistan-sweeps-the-ball-during-the-icc-mens-t20-cricket.jpg?b=1&s=612x612&w=gi&k=20&c=kc7pszeb-Fvc1wo674aERvLyQxiZKoM8Xiv5k9UvF0A=)
Great players like Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo, despite their huge fan followings, face criticism as well which they take in stride. Ahmed Shahzad had asked Babar Azam to take criticism in stride and not threaten legal action. Ahmed Shahzad said he and other teammates have been targeted in the past but they never pursued legal action.
He also ruled that everyone, including Babar, is paid for their job and accountable if they don’t do well. The game of cricket is not about success, but also failure. Ahmed Shahzad criticized Babar Azam for losing three World Cups and two Asia Cups under his captaincy.
Good players become great when they can take advice and constructive criticism, and give each day their best effort. Fans should keep backing their sides and players, bearing in mind the work that goes into competing at this level.
