One misfortune can sting any group at the Cricket World Cup. Envision, what three straight misfortunes can do! A similar this is going on with the Babar Azam-drove Pakistan cricket crew. Before recuperating from misfortunes against India and Australia, the 1992 World Cup champions were managed one more significant pass up Afghanistan. In Chennai on Monday, Afghanistan rode on some sure show by its players and bowlers to move beyond a 283-run target set by Pakistan without any problem.
That devastating misfortune has placed the Babar Azam-drove Pakistan near the very edge of exit from the World Cup. Previous Pakistan players attacked chief Babar Azam and different players for their horrible showing in the competition. Be it Wasim Akram, Misbah ul Haq, Ramiz Raja, Rashid Latif, Muhammad Hafeez, Aaqib Javed, Shoaib Malik, Moin Khan or Shoaib Akhtar, Babar was faulted for the run of Pakistan’s losses against India, Australia and Afghanistan.
Babar didn’t help his goal either by choosing to offer a bat to Afghanistan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz in Chennai after the eight-wicket rout.
In any case, the motion has not gone down well in the cricket circles here, adding to the cries to supplant Babar as skipper.
Aaqib was cited as saying by news organization PTI that Shaheen Shah Afridi ought to be made Pakistan chief in the white ball designs instead of Babar.
“Shaheen is the smartest option for the eventual fate of Pakistan cricket. Babar has neglected to show what him can do as a capable commander in white ball designs,” the previous pacer said.
Aaqib who is the Chief and lead trainer of PSL group Lahore Qalandars for which Shaheen, Haris Rauf, Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafique play likewise censured any remaining players with the exception of Rauf for not coming to the party against Afghanistan.
Pakistan presently need to win all their excess four games against Britain, South Africa, New Zealand and Bangladesh to have any possibility of meeting all requirements for the elimination rounds.
“The handling and non-verbal communication of the players was extremely poor and unconvincing (against Afghanistan). They simply didn’t seem equipped for protecting 283 which is certainly not a little aggregate. The bowling was common and the handling levels were unfortunate,” Akram said.
Akram likewise noticed that shockingly no wellness tests had been held for Pakistan players throughout the previous one year.
“In advanced cricket how would you hope to do effectively in the event that you are not 100% fit? How might you take gets or stop limits? “The manner in which a portion of our players handled maybe they were partaking in an eating routine of rich dishes and food,” he said.
Misbah said Babar’s captaincy failed to impress anyone and his bowling changes and field placings were awkward.
“He has squandered Haris Rauf by welcoming him on in the strategic maneuver when there are just two defenders outside the circle. Haris was hit in his first finished (against Australia) and he lost all certainty.
“He ought to be welcomed on with essentially a sweeper at cover and three different defenders on the leg-side profound,” Misbah said.
Unexpectedly, Misbah and Akram played had a crucial impact in persuading the PCB to make Babar chief, everything being equal, unloading Sarfaraz Ahmed after the 2019 World Cup.
Previous Pakistan all-rounder, Razzaq blamed Babar for ruining the round of different players and noticed that against Bangladesh, Shafique was batting forcefully and he changed the game once Babar came into bat.
“At the point when Babar bats gradually it antagonistically affects different hitters who then can’t play their regular game and this is influencing Pakistan’s strike rate in this competition,” Razzaq said.
