"Sir, you have taken 'four' too low, according to me, inshallah number one will come", these were the words that came out from the mouth of Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistan cricket team, when the journalist asked that Former South African cricketer Hashim Amla has included Pakistan in the top four, so will you be in the top four or win the final?

 

 

Babar Azam's reaction to this was seen as he stepped into the field to bat. May God let the performance of the green shirts on the Indian soil be similar and the illusion of Babar Azam not be broken and the national team not return to the country like 'We left the country with great dishonor'.

 

 

These concerns and doubts have entered the hearts of former cricketers and analysts after the bad performance of the national team in the Asia Cup 2023 against India, the traditional rival, and then Sri Lanka, which qualified for the World Cup. The captain has also given a confessional statement on the bitter words of the captain Babar Azam with the fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi in thee dressing room.

 

 Regardless, he also talked about respecting Shaheen Afridi, which means there must have been something black in the lentil, which Shaheen Afridi tried to erase through a picture on his X account, but that picture The chess game was also spectacular with all the interesting details where it was clear that Shaheen Afridi had defeated Babar Azam in this game of chess. This chessboard can be reversed only if Babar Azam's claim that he will come at number one is proven correct.

 

 Just as Babar-e-Azam's XI had defeated India and Sri Lanka in Asia Cup 2023, after that, cricket pundits on social media, newspapers and news channels were also desirous of changes in the team and wanted the failed Fakhar Zaman and Vice-captain Shadab Khan should be given another chance, but when Chief Selector Inzamam-ul-Haq announced the national squad for the World Cup 2023, there was a surprising change in the form of Hasan Ali in place of the injured Naseem Shah.

 

 

When asked by reporters, the chief selector claimed that Hasan Ali could bowl with the new ball as well as being experienced, and Inzamam-ul-Haq also said that it involved the consent of Babar Azam and coach Mickey Arthur. When this question came to the ears of Babra Azam, he acknowledged Hasan Ali's experimenting but refused to say whether Hasan Ali would bowl with the new ball or not. Babar Azam said that he will decide what to do after going to India and seeing the condition of each field, This gives a good idea of ​​the coordination between the chief selector and the captain. It is also debatable that Hasan Ali achieved such a feat that he was selected in the team as the 16th best bowler in the Sri Lankan Premier League and Imad Wasim was the third top scorer in the Caribbean Premier League with 313 runs and the seventh best with 14 wickets. Despite being a bowler, he remained hidden from the eyes of chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq and captain Babar Azam.

 

 Saim Ayub, the opener who scored 478 runs in the Caribbean Premier League in place of Fakhar Zaman, who made the Guyana Amazon Warriors champions for the first time, how could not warm the blood of two famous cricketers of Pakistan, after which the journalist Umeer Alvi in ​​Voice of America. The headlines of the article seem to do the justice, which they took from an X account saying 'Doost Hoon To Hasan Ali Ke Doost Jese, Warna Na Hoon'.

 

 Why no camp has been set up for the World Cup? Babar Azam's answer to this also seemed complicated, he said that the players have been playing cricket for two and a half months, they were exhausted, it was necessary to give them rest so that they rest for seven to eight days and mentally and physically. Get physically fit.

 

 Captain Babar Azam's responsibility is to take care of his players, try not to let the players get tired, so that they come to the field refreshed, but the Test series against Sri Lanka ended in the last week of July, after that. Pakistan's next assignment was the ODI series against Afghanistan and then the Asia Cup to be held in Pakistan and Sri Lanka from August 30. During this time, the Pakistani players had a month's time, but the captain Babar Azam did not consider it appropriate to rest himself. Neither consulted the team management and PCB to rest the players and during this time most of the players of the Pakistan team continued to play leagues, for which they had to travel constantly which belied Babar Azam's claim of rest. doing.

 

 After facing the media for the first time after the defeat in the Asia Cup, the captain of the Pakistan cricket team, Babar Azam, looked confused. used to announce that, although there was a high possibility of a change in conditions due to rains in Sri Lanka, Babar Azam had decided that the same players would take the field the next day against any opponent, but now he is faced with this dilemma. Wondering what the team combination will be, In his entire press conference, the same voice was heard that he will decide when he goes to India, but on the other hand, it is also an irrefutable fact that in major events, Pakistan cricket has a history that it goes to the field with the burden of defeats and then the winner. Honour comes back for glory, be it the World Cup 1992, the T20 World Cup 2009 under Younis Khan or the Champions Trophy 2017, but they need a major setback. We will pray the same for Babar Azam XI

May God introduce you to a storm

There is no disturbance in the waves of your sea.
