NEW DELHI: Facing stern grievance after sequence loss to England, Pakistan captain Babar Azam were given improve from former skipper Shahid Afridi, who asserted that the 28-year-old stays the spine of the workforce.
With England’s 26-run win in the second one Test in Multan, Pakistan now path the three-Test sequence 2-0.
However Afridi claimed that Babar has now not been taking recommendation from senior avid gamers in strategizing and making plans.
“If we don’t back and value him, who will value? Every player has a bad match here and there. But Babar remains the backbone of this team and he got a century (in the first Test) and 75 in the second Test Afridi said on a TV channel.
“As a captain, I all the time felt one needed to be a just right chief and that was once imaginable by means of uniting the entire avid gamers. It implies that you will have to speak about your plans with seniors. When you get started taking recommendation from outsiders and now not contain seniors, problems come (up),” Afridi said.
After the series defeat, Afridi also blamed batting coach Mohammad Yousuf for not playing a proactive role in selection matters.
Coach Yousuf was asked during the post-match conference about the inconsistent form of vice-captain and wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan so far in the series, and the former Pakistan cricketer said he had “no function in variety issues”.
“I feel it was once now not a really perfect resolution from Yousuf and I believe Rizwan must be given a wreck and rested and Pakistan will have to usher in Sarfaraz Ahmed in his position for Test fits,” said Afridi.
Afridi added that he would like to see Sarfaraz and batsman Shan Masood get opportunities in the third and final Test at Karachi. Both the players are in the squad for the series.
Pakistan coach Saqlain Mushtaq has also come in for criticism for saying that the team will try to get a consolation win in the third Test beginning December 17.
“Instead of speaking about the place we’re going incorrect, he’s now speaking a few comfort win. What kind of a trainer is Saqlain?” former Test batsman and ex-chief selector and head coach Mohsin Khan said.
Skipper Babar also faced the heat during the post-match conference, being asked uncomfortable questions about his performance in Multan where he failed in the second innings, scoring just one run.
In response to a question, Azam said sarcastically, “When I rating runs you assert I were given them on flat pitches and simple opposition and after I do not get runs, everybody says I will’t carry out in tricky scenarios. Please do not.” forget the 196 runs I got against Australia.”
Babar had no reason for back-to-back losses in Rawalpindi and Multan on pitches that had been just right for batting.
England received the primary Test by means of 74 runs in Pindi regardless of the International Cricket Council (ICC) fit referee giving it a below-average ranking for offering bowlers with little or no help all over the five-day contest.
Babar mentioned Pakistan had submit a courageous combat in each the video games.
“I thought we put up a good fight in the second innings (of the second Test). Saud (Shakeel) and (Mohammad) Nawaz played very well and even Imam (ul-Haq) came back from a hospital to get runs but we Need to still up our performance to beat this England side,” he mentioned.
