Babar Azam: That's the saying, isn't it? 'Hail starts falling as soon as you turn your head.' Something similar has happened with Babar Azam. He was stripped of the captaincy after the World Cup 2023 but was made the captain again before the T20 World Cup 2024. However, after becoming the captain, Pakistan was eliminated from the group stage of this World Cup as well.
Now every great player of Pakistan has attacked Babar Azam. It is as if Babar will return to Pakistan and he will be court-martialed. Now in the meantime news has come that he has retired from T20 International.
Let's know the whole matter.The condition of the Pakistan team was very bad in the T20 World Cup 2024. After losing to America and India, this team was completely out of the World Cup and after this the official announcement was awaited. As soon as the match between America and Ireland was cancelled, this official announcement was also made, but after this the Pak team did win two matches against Canada and Ireland but by then it was too late. Now in the meantime, the news of Babar Azam's retirement has come to the fore. It is being told that he has been advised to retire.
It is worth noting that Pakistan captain Babar Azam has been advised to retire by none other than India's former legendary opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth. Srikkanth has harshly criticized Babar's batting. He has described the Pak captain as a tuk-tuk player. He has also advised Babar to retire from the T20 format. He says that Babar cannot play in a tuk-tuk style in the T20 format and that too with a strike rate of 112-115.
