Babar Azam, who played well for Pakistan against England in the T20I series, has come under fire for his strike rate.
Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, displayed excellent form during the seven-match T20I series against England by scoring 285 runs. In the second T20I, he again produced unbroken innings of 110. Javed Miandad, a former captain of Pakistan, has asked Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to ask Babar if serving as captain is wearing on him. He added that PCB and Babar should have clear lines of contact.
His remarks come after Babar has been criticized for his strike rate.
“World-class batter Babar is. The board ought to inquire if serving as captain is wearing him down. He and the board need to be open and honest with one another. The captaincy should remain with him if he believes he cannot lead on the field and bat well simultaneously. Babar should be informed by the board that he is their top pick for the captain, however, “told Cricket Pakistan, Miandad.
Before the 2019 Australia series, Babar was named the shortest format captain of Pakistan. He assumed the leadership of the ODI and Test teams the following year.
“The athletes should first consider representing Pakistan. You will immediately exert more effort whether you are bowling, hitting, or fielding once you want to deliver for Pakistan “Miandad stated.
“The Pakistani team needs to understand that their inclusion in the starting lineup is a testament to their talent. You shouldn’t have to wonder if you’re good enough. You are competent; all that is left to do is to carry out the task at hand on the designated day “Added him.
