Time for a New Approach: Shoaib Malik Critiques Babar Azam’s Leadership
After their bowlers restricted India to a below-average total of 119 and they had six wickets close by while pursuing 40 runs from 35 balls even after their trusted anchor Mohammad Rizwan left, Pakistan’s extraordinary collapse in the run chase got the ire of some former cricketers.
“I have been saying for quite a while; kindly leave captaincy. You are a class player, and you may have the option to show your class when you don’t have extra responsibilities. In the event that Babar avoids captaincy, it will be really great for him,” Shoaib Malik said on Ten Sports.
They have been playing cricket for quite a long time, and I can’t educate them, said Wasim Akram. Rizwan has no game mindfulness. He should have realized that Bumrah was given the ball to take wickets and that the wise thing would have been to play his deliveries cautiously.
Be that as it may, Rizwan went for a top shot and lost his wicket. Iftikhar Ahmed didn’t play a single shot on the leg side. He has been part of the team for quite a while, yet he doesn’t know how to bat. I can’t proceed to tell Fakhar Zaman about game awareness. That’s what Pakistani players feel on the off chance that they don’t perform well; the coaches will be sacked, and nothing will happen to them.
Shoaib Malik Speaks Out: Babar Azam’s Captaincy in the Spotlight
Former captain Malik didn’t keep up with Pakistan’s batting performance, particularly from two of their senior players, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. Pakistan’s Babar Azam celebrates with Shaheen Shah Afridi after taking the wicket of India’s Rishabh Pant.
People keep discussing Babar and Rizwan’s strike rates, so you acquired Saim Ayub, Shoaib Malik said. Recently, it was a 120 chase; for what reason would you say you were attempting to further develop your strike rate yesterday? Shoaib Malik has made a scorching attack on captain Babar Azam and the batting approach of the team’s senior players.
The stage was set in each way. If, as a leader and a batter, your brain does not kick in in these sorts of situations, when will it? I’m compelled to say today that the core of this team, in the T20I format, I think we need to quit backing them, Shoaib Malik added. Malik additionally addressed Mohammad Rizwan’s shot selection against India.
“I didn’t figure out that shot from Rizwan. They carried back their fundamental bowler to get a wicket and Rizwan has been playing for such a long time and captaining in PSL. He should know what is happening, set up his hand, and say, This is my match,” he said.
Pakistan will confront Canada on Tuesday at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York.
