Babar Azam, Pakistan’s former captain, is going through a tough time in his cricketing career. His recent performances have not been up to the mark, leading to heavy criticism from fans and experts. The disappointment of the Champions Trophy was followed by his exclusion from the squad for the upcoming T20 series against New Zealand. This decision has sparked debates, and his father, Azam Siddique, has stepped forward to defend him.
Azam Siddique took to social media to express his unwavering support for Babar. He reminded everyone that despite the criticism, Babar was included in the ICC’s T20 Team of the Year. He reassured fans that his son would bounce back by performing in the National T20 and PSL. His words reflected confidence that Babar would soon silence his critics with his performances.
Criticism of Babar has come from several former players, including Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Hafeez. Akhtar went to the extent of calling Babar a “fraud,” while Hafeez raised concerns about his ability to perform in challenging conditions like those in South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia. These harsh remarks have put additional pressure on Babar, who has been struggling to regain his form.
In response to such criticism, Babar’s father warned former cricketers to be mindful of their words. He emphasized that while they had their time in the past, the present and future belonged to the current players. His statement made it clear that he believed in Babar’s abilities and that the young batter would soon prove his worth again.
Despite the negativity surrounding him, Babar Azam is not giving up. With upcoming matches in New Zealand and the Pakistan Super League (PSL), he has several opportunities to showcase his talent once again. His fans are hopeful that he will return to form and silence his critics with his performance on the field.
