Fakhar has been issued a show cause notice by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) over his controversial tweet where he questioned the selection panel and the board. Fakhar's tweet came right before PCB announced Pakistan's squad for the remaining two Test matches against England. The selectors made big changes in the squad as Babar was dropped from the squad along with pacers Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah. Fakhar's remarks didn't go down well with the PCB top brass and he was sent a show-cause notice on Monday. The selectors made big changes in Pakistan's Test squad in the wake of the hosts' crushing defeat by an innings and 47 runs in the first Test in Multan. Pakistan became the first Test to lose a Test match by an innings despite having posted a total of over 500 runs in their first innings. Babar's lean patch in Tests was also one of the reasons behind his axing. Tweeting in Babar's support, Fakhar compared the former Pakistan skipper's situation with that of Team India star Virat Kohli and urged the selectors to reverse their decision of dropping the star batter. He also stated that the decision to drop Babar would send a negative message to the rest of the players in the Pakistan setup. 'It is concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn't bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively,' Fakhar said in his tweet which went viral. 'If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deeply negative message across the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; we should focus on safeguarding our key players rather than undermining them,' he added.
