Pakistan's cricket team has faced intense scrutiny from critics at home, particularly in the lead-up to the T20 World Cup. After losing the T20I series against England 0-2, former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja criticized the team management.
Now, a video of a talk show in Pakistan has gone viral, featuring former cricketer Ahmed Shehzad challenging current skipper Babar Azam to win the 2024 T20 World Cup. Shehzad questioned the team's discipline and urged Azam to prove his worth by winning a major tournament.
Imam-ul-Haq, another former Pakistan cricketer, was also present on the panel. Pakistan, led by Azam and coached by Gary Kirsten, will begin their World Cup campaign against USA on Thursday. Their highly anticipated clash with India is scheduled for Sunday.
Despite the criticism, Pakistan remains a formidable team. Azam is one of the world's top batsmen, and the team boasts a talented squad. However, they will need to overcome their recent struggles and prove their mettle on the biggest stage.
The pressure is mounting on Azam and his team to deliver a strong performance at the T20 World Cup. With critics baying for their blood, Pakistan's cricketers will need to rise to the occasion and silence their detractors.
