Babar Azam’s captaincy and Pakistan’s dismal performance in the Cricket World Cup 2023 have come under fire.
Babar Azam’s captaincy and Pakistan’s poor performance in the Cricket World Cup 2023 have received a lot of scrutiny. Pakistan failed to qualify for the tournament semifinals after finishing fifth in the points table, prompting numerous former cricketers to seek fundamental changes in the team, including the resignation of Babar as captain. The team, which included talents such as Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi, and Haris Rauf, lost against India, Australia, South Africa, England, and Afghanistan. Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal stated that if Younis Khan, Shahid Afridi, and Misbah-ul-Haq had received the same amount of fan support as Babar Azam and company did over the last three years, they would have won the World Cup.
