A few days ago, former Pakani captains Wasim Akram, Moin Khan, Shoaib Malik and Misbah-ul-Haq had termed Azam as not good enough for the leading role and came down heavily on his captaincy in the ODI World Cup after Pakan’s eight-wicket loss against Afghanan. Afghanan restricted Pakan to 282 and then chased it down with an over to spare.
Babar has been on the dart-targets of most former Pakani legends and is drowning under a flood of criticism. Shoaib Malik, in the past, has tweeted that under Babar, Pakan has a culture of friendships, likes and dislikes. Malik on Monday has said the only person who is responsible for this situation is captain Babar Azam. He said: “The guy who is most responsible is the captain. As a batsman, he is King, but as a leader, he is not.”
Malik’s co-panell, former Pakan captain and wicketkeeper Moin Khan made a scathing remark on Babar. He said: “He is leading the side for the past four years. He has led the team in almost all the big events. Not a single thing he has learnt over the period of time.”
