Former Pakistan women’s team captain Javeria Khan has lashed out at the Pakistan Cricket Board for dropping Babar Azam from the team for the last two Tests against the England National Cricket Team. He said that by leaving out players like Babar, they had made a mockery of themselves.

In what was the biggest news of the day, the Pakistan national cricket team dropped opener Babar Azam from the team for the final two Tests against the England national cricket team. The opening batsman was excluded from the team after his horrible outing with the bat in the longest format of the game.

Babar Azam has struggled to get going in Test cricket since 2022

Babar has struggled to get going in Test cricket since 2022. The opener, considered one of Pakistan’s best batsmen, has not recorded a fifty in the format since 2022 and averages less than 21, giving a clear image. of his struggle as a player.

In the first Test against the England national cricket team, Babar scored just 35 runs in two innings. The worrying thing was that the field had no demons and was pure highway, and the right-hander was defeated both inside and out in two innings.

While the Pakistan Cricket Board mentioned in an official statement that Babar Azam has been rested, many media reports suggested otherwise. It emerged that the batsman was dropped because the selection committee, excluding Shan Masood and Jason Gillespie, wanted the batsman to have some time off.

Systems that don’t respect players like Babar Azam shouldn’t have players like him – Javeria Khan

When Babar was dropped from the team, several players from the Pakistan team, including Fakhar Zaman and Hasan Ali, expressed their disappointment. The latest to join the bandwagon is former captain of the women’s team Javeria Khan.

Javeria Khan said that Pakistan’s cricket system does not deserve players like Babar. He highlighted that no player would be able to perform if they had an exhausted mentality, leg pulling, social media testing and pressure to perform all the time. On his Twitter account, he explained:

“We have made fun of ourselves in the world of cricket. Systems that do not respect players like Babar Azam should not have players like him. No athlete can perform with an exhausted mentality, leg pulls, social media tests and pressure .act all the time.”

Very disappointed and sad to see Pakistan cricket going down the hill – Javeria Khan

Not only did Pakistan eliminate Babar Azam, but so did Naseem Shah, Sarfaraz Ahmed and Shaheen Afridi. The Pakistan Cricket Board mentioned that the above players have been rested.

Javeria Khan believes that the decision to rest the main players should have been taken at the beginning of the series as it communicates a positive message. He said the decision to remove the players shows the system needs to be reset. She added:

“The decision to rest your best players is made at the beginning of the series, not in the middle of the series. If it had been made earlier, it would have benefited the players and would have communicated a positive message…

These four players don’t need rest. It is the system that needs to reset its mentality. “I am very disappointed and sad to see Pakistan cricket going downhill.”

We have made fun of ourselves in the cricket world.

Systems that don’t respect players like Babar Azam really shouldn’t have players like him. No athlete can perform with an exhausted mindset, leg pulling, social media testing, and pressure to perform every…
