Let us tell you that at present the Pakistan team is on a tour of England, where a 4-match T20I series is being played between the two teams. Azam has not been able to improve his performance in this series and this remains the biggest concern for the Men in Green. The wicketkeeper batsman has been included in the team for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and his form remains a matter of concern for the team at the moment. He is being criticized due to his consistent poor performance and on this question, Fakhar has given a big statement during the conversation in the press conference.

The journalist questioned whether unfit Azam Khan has been selected on the basis of recommendation and not his talent. To this, the left-handed batsman gave a befitting reply and said, “If you have to choose the team, then do not choose Azam. This team has been selected by head coach Gary Kirsten and captain Babar Azam. The word you have just used is insulting to a player. You need to see how Azam has made his place in the team. He performed well in the CPL and that is why he has been selected.”

Zaman further said, “You should gather some information about how much he has struggled to make it to the playing eleven. I can also tell you that you have come here on a recommendation. Get information about a player before coming to the press conference.”

Azam Khan's disappointing performance in international cricket

Let us tell you that in the second T20 match against England, the 25-year-old has not been able to leave the effectiveness of his bat. He scored 11 runs with the help of 2 fours in 10 balls. Apart from this, his performance in T20 International has been disappointing. This player has played a total of 12 matches so far, in which he has scored only 88 runs with a very ordinary average of 11. During this, his best score has been 30 runs.
