Pakistan's young wicketkeeper batsman Azam Khan has been selected for the T20 series against England and the T20 World Cup 2024 to be held next week in West Indies-USA, but some people are very unhappy with his selection because people believe that Azam has been selected not on the basis of performance but on the basis of recommendation and something similar was said by a journalist, due to which Fakhar Zaman got very angry.

A press conference was held before Pakistan's third T20 match against England and during this, a Pakistani journalist asked Fakhar Zaman a question about Azam Khan's selection. This journalist questioned Azam Khan's fitness and said that he has been selected in the team on the basis of biased recommendation. Fakhar Zaman got angry with this question of this journalist and he publicly scolded this journalist.

Fakhar replied, 'If you make this team, you can keep him out but Babar Azam and the team management have selected him in the team after seeing his ability. Azam has not been selected on the basis of any recommendation but on the basis of his CPL performance. You should not use the word recommendation because by doing this you are insulting a player and from now on whenever you come, you should do your research.'

On the other hand, if we talk about Azam Khan's performance, then since making his international debut in July 2021, Azam Khan has not yet been able to make his mark in Pakistan's T20 setup. In his 12 matches so far for the 'Men in Green', the young wicketkeeper-batsman has managed to score just 88 runs. During this, his average has been just 11. In such a situation, the series against England and the upcoming T20 World Cup This is going to be very important for Azam Khan's T-20 International career.
