Shaheen Afridi on Babar Azam: After losing the Test series against England by 0-3, questions are being raised once again on the captaincy of Babar Azam. His captaincy has been criticized on several occasions this year for the poor performance of the team. Now, for the first time in the history of cricket, when Pakistan got a clean sweep in a Test series of three or more matches on its own soil, the criticism of his captaincy intensified. In such a situation, fast bowler Shaheen Afridi has come to the rescue of his fellow player.
Shaheen wrote in a tweet, ‘Babar Azam is our and Pakistan’s pride, life and identity. He is our captain and will be. It is forbidden to think of anything else. Please support this team. This team will also win us. The story is not over yet.
Babar Azam is my pride or Pakistan’s pride, I don’t know him. Wo Hamara kaptaan hai or rahe ga. Kuch or #sochnabhimanah hey.
Please support this team. Yahi team hame jitaye gi bhi. Kahani abhi khatam nahi howi. #Respect pic.twitter.com/WyjW98pJuA

Constant criticism about captaincy
This year, Pakistan had to lose the Test series at the hands of Australia and England on their own soil. He also had to face defeat in the T20 series against England. The loss in the Asia Cup and the team’s poor performance in the opening matches of the T20 World Cup were also blamed on Babar’s captaincy. Babar has also been a flop in batting for the last few months. In such a situation, his captaincy is constantly being criticized. Some former cricketers have even advised him that Babar should leave the captaincy and focus on his batting.
