Babar Azam is the only player in the top 3 in all three formats in the ICC rankings. Babar Azam is ranked third in T20s and continues to be top ranked in ODIs. Babar Azam, who is ranked third in Tests, has a chance to move to the top spot soon…
ICC No. 1 Test Batter Marnus Labushane, No. 2 Batter Steve Smith, who are flopping in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Test Series against India… If they lose their points, it will help Babar Azam a lot. If these two fail to score runs in the remaining two Tests, then there is no need to be surprised if Babar Azam rises to the top spot…
There is no such thing as a character for the Pakistan team. They don’t even know how to speak in front of the media. Is speaking and learning English that difficult? After coming into cricket, you have to talk to the media. We have to talk to the cricketers of other countries.
It is not enough to sit around saying that we always speak in Hindi. Countries of the world look at us only if we speak English fluently in front of TV. Babar Azam has a good brand in Pakistan. But why he couldn’t become Pakistan’s biggest brand ambassador. Because he doesn’t speak English…
At least someone in the rest of the team speaks English properly? Just me, Shahid Afridi, Wasim Akram. Only we can speak English. We are also doing ads for some brands… the rest of them are spending their time just watching us…’ commented former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Akhtar…
Babar Azam reacted differently to Shoaib Akhtar’s comments.
‘I am a cricketer, my job is to play cricket. And not an English teacher. To speak English fluently. But I’m learning. I have been trying to learn English for many years…’ commented Babar Azam…
Babar Azam struggled to answer questions from the media during the Test series against England. Unable to answer the questions asked by some reporters, he tried to threaten them by looking like a horse.
After a clean sweep in the Test series against England at home, Pakistan managed to draw the Test series against New Zealand. At one stage, Pakistan, who were in the final round of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 season, dropped out of the race with consecutive defeats. Babar Azam’s team ended the last WTC season without winning a single test match at home.
It is heard that PCB is trying to remove Babar Azam from ODI and Test captaincy. But as of now there is no update on that matter.
