At this moment, the most criticized name in Pakistani cricket is Babar Azam. Much of this criticism is political. The 1992 World Cup-winning cricketer wants to bring about a change in the Pakistan Cricket Board. This former cricketer, who captained Pakistan, wants a complete overhaul in the administration of Pakistan cricket. He has expressed this desire on his own YouTube channel.
The current World Cup did not go well for Pakistan. They lost in 5 out of 9 matches. Captain Babar also couldn’t deliver his best performance and failed to convert any of his four fifties into centuries.
Due to such performances, the former cricketers in Pakistan, including many former captains, have criticized Babar, and even the PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja has been critical. Babar has received little support at this time. Among the few who have supported him is Ramiz. Despite discussing the future of his captaincy, Babar has spoken with the former cricketer Ramiz. On his channel, Ramiz has tried to understand how Babar will captain if he does not get wickets with the new ball and how he will lead the team from the start if he faces difficulties.
It is heard that many former cricketers in Pakistan will speak to the PCB. After that, the PCB will make decisions on leadership and other matters. Ramiz has criticized this process and said, “Will PCB bring together some former cricketers to solve the problems? Who has placed them in positions of power based on their abilities? What will they all think, they have taken a big step.”
Ramiz adds, “If there is no love for the game, cricket will not go an inch. Even they have to change their mentality. The process of leaking news to favorite reporters should stop.”
Ramiz has expressed disappointment over club cricket in Pakistan. He claims that club cricket has collapsed. He raised the issue of renting cricket grounds to various companies for money at the end of the week, and they organize cricket with tennis balls. According to him, the whole process needs to change, and changes must first come to the board.
