Following Pakistan’s shocking eight-wicket loss to Afghanistan in the 2023 ICC World Cup, there have been tidings that skipper Babar Azam was devastated by the outcome, displaying outward indications of grief and tears.
The cricket world has been very critical of this defeat, blaming not just Babar Azam but the squad as a whole for their appalling performance.
“I heard that Babar Azam was in tears following the defeat against Afghanistan,” said former cricket player Mohammed Yousuf.
We support Babar at this trying time, as does the entire country, even if the duty involves the entire team and management.
Since the loss, both cricket lovers and analysts have sharply criticized Babar Azam’s leadership and the team’s overall performance.
Babar’s leadership qualities have come under scrutiny from a number of former cricket players, and there have also been discussions over the players’ levels of fitness.
Babar’s squad is in danger of losing after only two wins in five games.
Pakistan is hoping to turn around their tournament fortunes with their match against South Africa, which takes place in Chennai on Friday.
