Mohammad Wasim on Babar Azam: Former Pakistan Test captain Babar Azam is in the news these days. Although it is considered good if a player makes headlines for his game, but Babar Azam is in the news for his form. The Pakistani team is on the verge of losing the series to Bangladesh for the first time in the history of Test cricket and Babar Azam’s bat is completely silent. Meanwhile, the former selector of the Pakistan cricket team has given a sensational statement on Babar Azam. How stubborn Babar Azam was during his captaincy is now being exposed.
Former selector Babar Azam told the story of Babar Azam
Former Pakistan head selector Mohammad Wasim has revealed that Babar Azam was very stubborn during his captaincy. Wasim said that he wanted to make some changes in the team, but he could not do so because of Babar. Wasim revealed that he tried hard to convince Babar to make some changes in the team, but Babar was very stubborn and did not let it happen. Wasim said through Cricket Pakistan that it was a very difficult task to explain to him the benefits of the changes. He was very stubborn and crossed his limits to persuade Babar to some decisions. He revealed that earlier coaches had named a group of players who were very lethal to the team and tried to remove them, but did not get the support of the captain.
Imad Wasim was successful in making a comeback in the team after retirement
Mohammad Wasim said that he would not name anyone, but four coaches had told him that a group of players are cancer for the team. Pakistan cannot win if they are part of the team. Wasim tried to remove them from the team, but the team management called them back. The Pakistan team has taken some shocking decisions in recent times, including recalling retired Imad Wasim and Mohammad Aamir to the team for the T20 World Cup. Wasim revealed that he had dropped Imad from the team during his tenure and wanted him to work on his fitness, but he kept hiding his knee injury for years.
Babar Azam became the captain of Pakistan for the first time in the year 2020
Babar Azam was made the captain of Pakistan for the first time in 2020, but he decided to leave this responsibility after the 2023 ODI World Cup. However, the change in PCB handed him the responsibility of captaincy again. At present, Shan Masood is the captain of the Test and Babar Azam is once again handling the captaincy in the rest of the formats. Meanwhile, there were talks of two factions in the team many times, but neither the PCB nor anyone else believed it. Now whatever Mohammad Wasim has said during this interview, one by one the layers are peeling off and things are coming to the fore.
