Imam-ul-Haq Defends Babar Azam Amid Criticism

Young and emerging Pakistani cricketer Imam-ul-Haq has come out in defense of Babar Azam under whom the Pakistani cricket team has been criticized after a disastrous T20I series against Australia. Babar got out for a mere 47 in three matches hence prompting fans to have their say. In the second T20I match at Sydney Cricket Ground, he had to bear scantily threatening chants asking him to get out of the national team. The video of the event has gone viral.

Imam also shared about the brutal behavior of fans saying that we tease rather than encourage heroes. Let me say it just one more time, Babar, you still are the champion. However, for the Pakistan cricket team the Zimbabwe tour comprising 3 ODIs and T20 Is will be the priority.

Pakistan’s Strategy for Zimbabwe

Pakistan is bringing a new squad to Zimbabwe series as they have decided to give rest to their main players like Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam. In ODIs Mohammad Rizwan will be the captain and, in T20 Is new faces like Tayyab Tahir and Sufyan Muqeem will start delivering their best. It is believed that through this tour such players must stand a better chance to exercise their talents.

The two teams consist of a blend of experience and young talent meaning Pakistan is building its depth as a cricket nation. Audiences wish for better results through this tour following the unimpressive show in the Australian series.
