Pakistan After an easy victory over Namibia, they secured their spot in the Super 8 of the T20 World Cup, becoming the last team to advance. However, the win did little to quell the growing controversy surrounding the former captain Babar Azamhis lean running with the bat was once again under scrutiny.Babar has scored just 66 runs in three games and has struggled to make an impact. In the game against Namibia, he caused controversy when he did not come out to bat while being padded for a long time. Skipper Salman Ali Agha seemed not entirely happy with the decision.
Former Pakistan batsman and selector Mohammad Yusuf has now openly criticized Babar, revealing that he had earlier advised the batsman to rest while serving as selector.“I have been saying for two or three years that Babar’s skills are gone. I kept hearing that he was out of form, but he wasn’t. A player can only be out of form for two to three series and he didn’t score in the last two to three years. When I suggested resting Babar, everyone suddenly turned against me. So I had to resign. He was eventually dropped after a few series,” Yusuf said in an interview. “How Does It Work?” Podcast.He further questioned the emphasis on mentality over skills. “The churan of mentality is very wrongly sold. Unless you have no skills, the mind cannot do anything. If you have no skills, what will the mind do?” he added.Yusuf also compares Babar to legends from previous eras, placing them in a different light. “The level of Inzy Bhai and Saeed Bhai cannot be matched. They cannot be matched. They are very great players. Zaheer Abbas…these four players belong to different categories and levels. Babar was nothing before them. “Despite the noise, Pakistan now turn their attention to the Super 8 stages, where they are drawn in Group 2 along with the other groups england cricket teamNew Zealand Cricket Team and Sri Lanka Cricket Team.
