PCB: "Babar Azam and Chief Selector Inzamam-ul-Haq were given freedom and support in forming the squad for the ICC World Cup 2023"

I find it so irritating.

People here have all the criticism in the world reserved for a world class batsman and honest person like Babar Azam but turn a blind eye to the fact that the cricket board is being run by Zardari's pet.
When will you guys raise your voice against the Cricket Board in particular and the country in general being run by crooks?
 
So it begins as PCB directly blames Babar and Inzi this team performance and selection.

Misbha already told that Babar will not even might in 11 if keeps his this kind of performance no matter how much 100s he make.


What has PCB done wrong here?
They have given unlimited power to Babar Azam to select and run the team as he wishes.
He got the players he wanted, he got the facilities/contract/money for his players, cake celebrations/dining out etc. all paid by PCB as he wanted. He is the top paid athlete in whole of Pakistan currently.
Results and output are expected from him? He is an adult, why hold him with kiddy gloves.
 
Headlines should read: "Haar kee tayariyan shroo" (Preparations afoot to accept defeat).
 
Yes don't criticise when the tournament is going on, and even support him as a player and back him to go through this tough time. But introspection and root cause analysis also needs to be done.
All key players have lost form at the same time, but that is not an excuse. He said we are not able to execute our skills..
Why? Is it a mental issue, or something else. Questions need to be asked but offcourse in a respectful way.
 
We are all angry, we are all annoyed by the dumb decisions but this drama that's starting in the media needs to stop. Let the team play the remaining four matches and then we can start off this introspection.

Wait what? Why did PCB release such a statement mid of a tournament? Are they insane.

PCB cant just blame their own captain during mid of a tournament. What a joke of an organization

To be fair, the full statement actually reiterates their support for the team and calls on fans to do the same.
Plenty of time to have these discussions after the tourney.

I agree with you PCB should be held responsible for making babar azam a captain even though he holds no real captaincy skills on top of that they gave babar full authority
 
No surprise here. Captains are always replaced after a loss in a 50-over World Cup.

What are captaincy skills? Whose a judge here? You? No seriously. There are like 10+ coaches/analysts in our management group- why is only Babar being blamed?

Babar Azam is your best player. And a captain should be the person who
1) is guaranteed a place in the eleven
2) commands respect
Babar satisfies both these requirements. And so was the obvious choice for captaincy.
 
Zaka ashraf has been an absolute disaster. Not surprised to see considering he is - mr 10%

Agreed, his captaincy need to be held accountable and he can be stripped of it but talk of Babar the batsman being dropped is crazy.

And what has the PCB done wrong? Well where do we begin:

Played merry go round with selectors and chairmen.

Did not even have a proper coaching staff and have a director role where he doesn't even coach in Pakistan currently...God knows what Bradburn is doing also.

A non-existent or fraudulent medical staff that ruined the career of Hasan Ali, almost ruined Shaheen although they may have done that also and almost ruined Naseem Shah.

A non-existent fitness and nutritionist.

Non-existent analysts of any note or worth.

None of the above are in Babar's hands.

Your forgetting the most important aspect of captaincy: on field tactics which Babar is terrible at.

However Babar is not the sole reason for the poor performances and it’s ridiculous how he is being made the scapegoat.

They can do whatever they want. This is the guy who didn’t listen to them when they were telling him before the World Cup that the team he is taking isn’t good enough

Are you Serious?

So the criteria for captaincy is that you have guarntee place in playing 11 and have respect 🤣

His team, he's the captain, he goes down with the ship - this is how it works.

Guaranteed a place in the XI - ok…

Commands respect - does he anymore? There wasn’t much evidence of it in the last match.

I think you are ranting a bit here, I can understand you want to defend Babar here, but respect and admiration is (as momin saqib says 😂) is 2 way. He has now had 4 years of people talking him up, calling him great, best in the world, match winner, king Babar, the pride of the nation and a lot of people know how sensitive he is so on air, especially on the Pavilion show up till the Afghanistan match everyone has been reluctant to criticise him and holding back by repeatedly criticising the change in board, selection etc.

He’s had quite an easy ride when evidently he’s not cut out for captaincy.

You don’t realise what a disservice you’re doing to him by this stubborness to not criticise or blame him.

Despite all the cake cutting etc, he’s not a baby - take it on the chin, resign, work on your batting and come back stronger.
 
They can do whatever they want. This is the guy who didn’t listen to them when they were telling him before the World Cup that the team he is taking isn’t good enough
My manager surpassed everyone's advise and implemented his workflow. The project failed, there was an inquiry and he was fired. Thats how it goes in real life. If Babar took all decisions discarding everyone else in the PCB then he should get fired as a captain.
 
His team, he's the captain, he goes down with the ship - this is how it works.
For once in his captaincy career he should take responsibility for his team's failure.

He never takes blame. He always throw other players under the bus. He was never a leader he is never gonna be a leader.

He's seems to be referring to the optics of it. Releasing such a statement is childish and incredibly unprofessional under any circumstance, more so during a WC.

This is a poor take.

Babar himself is a a great batter who just happens to be out of form...people on here love bringing up Kohli, remember he has also spent various stages of his cross format career out of form, as did previous greats like Tendulkar, Lara (for a long long stretch) and even Ponting. Heck, this is the first time in ODI cricket Babar has had such a lean period and still has managed two good scores.

Rizwan is possibly best keeper bat, Ifty is a terrific striker of the ball and has shown it repeatedly this tournament.

The problem was the bowling became injured and out of form all at the same time. Question is, outside of Shaheen, Naseem, Rauf, Wasim, Zaman andn ow Hasan Ali, who else could have been in the squad?

What great spinners are Pakistan currently hiding? People bring up Abrar but he never played enough ODIs however is part of the reserves. The squad is the best Pkaistan could have and it is a decent squad on the global stage but there is bad timing with form and injuries, a non-existent coaching staff and some poor on field decisions.
 
A lot of you will obviously take this as an opportunity to criticise the PCB which doesn’t represent the political party you would have liked to be in power.

Now, it is clear that the PCB were pretty much fed up with Babar Azam’s reluctance to take key advice before the selection of the World Cup squad. I’m pretty sure that the meeting before the squad announcement must have been a pretty heated event.

Babar in the past has absolutely baffled some great cricketing minds with his approach and decisions. Notably, Wasim Akram revealing how Babar paid no heed to his advice to bat at number 3 for KK at a time when they had some of the best T20 openers in world cricket in their ranks.

Most probably, Babar sat in that meeting and came across as someone who doesn’t give any importance to the advice of senior, experienced cricketers of the past and must have stated that he is happy to step aside from captaincy if he doesn’t get the combination of players that he has worked with for the past 2 years (basically threatening the PCB to withdraw from the World Cup himself).

This also coincided at the same time when Babar and his top players were continuously tussling with the PCB for the renewal of their contracts and demanding a percentage of the ICC revenue, so basically the PCB had a lot on their hands whilst dealing with Babar Azam….

-They were being held hostage by Babar and co for massive pay outs even though the World Cup had not yet concluded and clarity on these players and their true abilities was not apparent

-They were being held hostage by Babar on the eve of a major tournament picking a below par squad, a squad that was brutally exposed at the Asia cup.

With these clear factors in mind, and the way Babar Azam got whatever he wanted in such circumstances…I place no blame whatsoever at the PCB for openly throwing him and the puppet chief selector under the bus.

Really well played Zaka Ashraf. No need to cover up for someone that was never willing to bat for you or best interests as an organisation.
 
To be fair, the full statement actually reiterates their support for the team and calls on fans to do the same.
Plenty of time to have these discussions after the tourney.
But it also hints at ‘possible actions for the betterment of the team after the WC’. Read in between the lines.
 
Why i am not sad or and i think what PCB is doing right?

Why Babar did ignore the issue which was 2000% visible in Asia cup?
Why not bring Imad instead of Nawaz?
Why not carry Harris Sohail, which is more fit than Imam?
Why carry Muhammad Harris who average is under 24 even in domestic?
Why rejected Zaka and Misbha suggestion (Misbha confirmed he suggested Muhammad Amir instead of Harris Rauf, as he knew he is unfit and cannot perform in big matches yes he said that ) but it was rejected by Babar Azam? Why?
Why brought Usama Mir instead Abrar?


According to Misbha Babar Azam Rejected 7 request and Recommandtion and he said he was shocked how could even Inzi go ahead with this disaster. He said that it will be super Hard for Babar Azam now to play even 11 as now PCB will become your oppostion because once you **** them off you are gone for good.

Misbha is really opening up against Babar. He said PCB is 100% right and it is on you that you were the person that rejected PCB idea and suggestion ,however, due to fans, hype and Inzi request they went the Babar suggestion and that is why Hafeez resign because he was given 0 importance so why anyone will take blame for this performance? He said it's a collective suggestion and team and if Babar wanted every control and it his responsibility to deliver not the players.

Muhammad Amir instead of Haris Rauf? Haris Rauf has been a proven performer for Pakistan in ODI cricket for the last few years, why would anybody replace him with someone who hasn't bowled ten overs in a game in four years now? Did Babar know he won't be a good fit for these tracks and doesn't have the brains to adapt to adverse conditions?

Usama Mir played a few games for Pakistan and performed decently well, he has been exposed here as he is just not bowling well. He is also one of your top wicket-taking spinners in domestic cricket in LOI games. Abrar has twelve List A games to his name, he was still selected but as a reserve which is an absolutely fair call.

Haris Sohail was recalled to the NZ series earlier this year and he got injured once more, and definitely has to be discarded owing to his dodgy knee.

Misbha also said even Hassan Ali can bat better than Muhammad Harris than why they taking him to play this big event? He asked from Inzi why you are wasting this slot than he replied it is request from the captain.
 
Zaka did the right thing by giving Babar full authority. Now everyone knows how poor a planner, strategist and overall captain he is. With the backlash that is coming it is high time for some control to be taken by the PCB and appoint the right players to the right position

There's nothing to be shocked about inzi going ahead with this decision.

It's a 2 way street between inzi and babar
Inzi selects the team babar wants and babar plays inzi's nephew every single game
 
Zaka did the right thing by giving Babar full authority. Now everyone knows how poor a planner, strategist and overall captain he is. With the backlash that is coming it is high time for some control to be taken by the PCB and appoint the right players to the right position
Yes it was 4 ex players who advice Zaka not use Authority over Babar selection, otherwise you will be held responsible for Babar 4 years of Scam in WC 4 Ex players according to Hafeez.
 
I agree with the move to relieve him of his captaincy duties, but kicking him out altogether seems like overkill.
He hasn't had a stellar tournament with the bat, but has not done so badly as to warrant dropping him either.
 
His team, he's the captain, he goes down with the ship - this is how it works.
I agree . But what I meant is he not the sole reason and the only scapegoat.

But as agreed he does have the most to answer for no doubt.
 
Imagine the scenes if Pakistan were to go on and win all of their games.

Yes its unlikely that this happens, but the board should wait before starting the inquisition.

Misbha and Hafeez both said we were treated like stupid and Babar thought he is most knowledgeable person in cricket.

Misbha was really pissed on Muhammad Harris. He called him dud and said that why he is in this team in big matches where even Hassan Ali can bat better. He said that it is a crime to waste this slot for the sake of Friendship. He said i would have taken Harris under this slot.

First respond to what I have replied with, rather than acting like this fair weather reporter.

Also where is Misbah making these outlandish statements? Doesn't seem like what he would say, doesn't make sense when he has to equate Hasan Ali's batting skills to Muhammad Haris'? Who in their right minds would ever say Hasan Ali can bat better than a proper batter at this level of cricket?

Look at the arrogance. He is going down for good.
 
So there you have it.

There were posters who would not accept that this was indeed Babar's squad for the World Cup - now they have had confirmation direct from PCB.

You will be amazed that it was Misbha who said it first and reveled it when Pakistan lost to India.
 
Babar steps down gracefully as captain and carries on playing. It doesn't need to be a pitchforks at dawn, witchhunt moment.

It is what it is, Babar is clearly too immature to be given power to select his squad and form a WC squad.
 
Imagine the scenes if Pakistan were to go on and win all of their games.

Yes its unlikely that this happens, but the board should wait before starting the inquisition.
Man just for babar sake - I hope this happens! He's a nice guy and is being singled out and vilified here by pcb personally which is unfair. Professional criticism is fine and has to be there but below the belt personal vilification is not ok. And more importantly he will get the backing of bcci lol if an ind pak sf happens... bcci will say we wont play pak in future multilaterals if babar is not there as he helped you qualify from nowhere ! ..😂

i actually agree with Rana here. Good post

The batters are full of accumulators and there's like two big power hitters in the squad + reserves all together in Ifti & Haris. And yet Misbah is wondering why he's in the squad? I guess he would prefer another useless accumulator in Sarfraz who was so awful in batting he kept putting himself lower and lower down the order to shield himself by the end of his captaincy.

There is genuine criticisms for Babar & his captaincy/selections but you don't need to just make up things and say nonsense like friendship to make up criticism against Babar. There is already genuine and legitimate complaints about his captaincy and the team's buildup over time. You don't need to make up crap.

Here is PCB with its stupid nonsense and useless statements. Why do you feel the need to even put this out there? Is ECB doing the same against England? What purpose does this even survive other than for people to pile up & hate Babar even more. At the end of the day, captain & selector are always given the freedom to select the teams and outside 2011, there's not a single ODI WC in which Pakistan has performed well in since 1999 and that 11' performance was on the back of Afridi going beast mode. Pakistan are simply a mediocre team that fails to develop and nurture their talent and ultimately, that issue does not fall on Inzi or Babar or any coach, its on PCB and its horrific infrastructure, domestic setup, poor coaches etc.

Yes i am really amazed that even a 5 years old would know that this would happen by looking at Asia cup and he change somethings but we go ahead some settings and did not bother to change anything. Dam who advice him for this?
 
So he did not want Harris but would had taken Harris under this slot? What?
Harris Sohail. 2 days back Muhammad Yousuf says that Harris Sohail is more tactical in Batting than Babar Azam or Rizwan. Even Misbha agreed and says that he was more fit than Imam and some other batters and he was really shock that they are taking C+ type player Muhammad Harris rather than Harris Sohail.

i think it would had been harsh dropping Imam, but did Misbah really support Amir? DAMNNN.

I cant believe it. which pavilion show was it, and was it pre match or post
 
Babar deserves all the blame. He is the one that selected his friends such as unfit Imam and T20 bowler Shadab. He wen to India with no specialist spinners. He is there on a paid holiday. Begging for shirts and presenting bats, while the members of those 2 teams are insulting him and Pakistan. Also Babar as bat is over(rated, which big series has he won? all he does is stats pad.
 
What has PCB done wrong here?
They have given unlimited power to Babar Azam to select and run the team as he wishes.
He got the players he wanted, he got the facilities/contract/money for his players, cake celebrations/dining out etc. all paid by PCB as he wanted. He is the top paid athlete in whole of Pakistan currently.
Results and output are expected from him? He is an adult, why hold him with kiddy gloves.
Let me rephrase. The issues is with the content and timing.
 
Keep coming the masala news .we have 1 week rest for next Matches so want to enjoy the show :misbah
PCB is back to the past now where this type of news were predictable but somehow after 2017 all the dressing room chat were not came out openly but now it's back to the past .
Babar Azam Captioncy is first casualty after world cup debacle??
 
Harris Sohail. 2 days back Muhammad Yousuf says that Harris Sohail is more tactical in Batting than Babar Azam or Rizwan. Even Misbha agreed and says that he was more fit than Imam and some other batters and he was really shock that they are taking C+ type player Muhammad Harris rather than Harris Sohail.
These ex pak cricketers are.so toxic and a bunch of jokers to be honest...harris sohail more tactical in batting than babar lol - just when you think you have heard it all.come these gems 🙂
 
Yes i am really amazed that even a 5 years old would know that this would happen by looking at Asia cup and he change somethings but we go ahead some settings and did not bother to change anything. Dam who advice him for this?
His agency. Big money opportunities could have gone begging if players not in their group didn’t get the exposure of a major tournament like the World Cup
 
i think it would had been harsh dropping Imam, but did Misbah really support Amir? DAMNNN.

I cant believe it. which pavilion show was it, and was it pre match or post
Post of India vs Pakistan on Ary. He said that PCB is going to fire Coach, Babar and Inzi. He also said that if he becomes selector than he will drop Nawaz, Shahdab, Imam, Harris Rauf and Agah Salman from the squad and than host ask than what will be replacement he said Harris Sohail, Imad Wasim, Fahim Ashraf and Sami Ayub and he also says that PCB will automatically will drop the players now there focus will be on developing new and controlled Captain who listen advices.
 
Doesn’t it make you laugh when Misbah and Hafeez are sat there throwing stones when they were involved in the 2007 and 2015 world cups. Misbah captained quite possible the worst white ball Pakistan team I’ve ever seen.
 
His agency. Big money opportunities could have gone begging if players not in their group didn’t get the exposure of a major tournament like the World Cup
It is a suicide who ever did advice him is no friend. He simply send Babar into whole and now he cannot out of it.
 
PCB is rotten itself with doing stuff like this mid tournament, ofc it will leak down into the team…
 
[Reporter:]

Before this match, PCB had started to put blames on Chief Selector Inzamam ul Haq, Captain Barbar Azam. You think accountability investigation will follow and who to blame for this?

[Mickey Arthur:]

They're going to be blaming everybody, don't worry. It's just the way of the world. Yeah, look, it's unfair. It's really unfair to start a witch hunt, certainly on Babar Azam, on Inzi, on our coaches, on the management team. What I do know is the boys have tried and the effort of the coaching staff, the effort of the players has been first-class. If they would see that the amount of effort that the players and staff put in, they would be amazed.

If they would see that the amount of effort that the players and staff put in, they would be amazed.

The PCB should not have let Babar Azam walk over them. Atleast Inzi should have put his foot down if he had objections to certain players. Hafeez and Misbah have been proven right.

Inzi wanted his own nephew in there, scratch my back and I will scratch yours. I thought Imam was too slow for T20, he is too slow for ODIs as well. Unless the team mindset get out of 90s, players like Imam will only harm us and then the nepotism and corruption will do the rest.

Before this match, PCB had started to put blames on Chief Selector Inzamam ul Haq, Captain Barbar Azam. You think accountability investigation will follow and who to blame for this?

[Mickey Arthur:]

They're going to be blaming everybody, don't worry. It's just the way of the world. Yeah, look, it's unfair.

Which effort. Just check their fitness levels. No way these guys are fit. I dont want to body shame, but they are not in shape.
