It is pertinent to mention that Babar Azam has come under criticism for his individual performances and leadership skills. A section of social media lambasted him by alleging that he made selectors pick his “friends” in the World Cup 2023 squad.
The fans had called on the selection of all-rounder Imad Wasim on the back of his performances in the Caribbean Premier League 2023. However, he was not selected for the tournament.
Mohammad Hafeez, considered to be one of the country’s greatest players, opened up on Imad Wasim’s exclusion from the team. During a sports show, the former Pakistan captain – following the side’s historic loss to Afghanistan – said Babar Azam should issue a public apology for not picking him for the ongoing World Cup in India.
