Saw Rizwan, Shadab getting scolded by Babar: Ex-pacer's bombshell amid Pakistan captaincy row in World Cup
Former Pakistan pacer Umar Gul has made a sensational claim amid the team's dwindling World Cup 2023 campaign. Babar Azam's captaincy is in massive danger as Pakistan have lost three out of their five games and one more loss will mean an early exit for the 1992 champions.
Speaking on ARY Sports, Gul said, "I was with the Pakistan team for one series and I saw Mohammad Rizwan and Shadab Khan getting scolded by Babar Azam for talking to the bowler. Maybe this is the reason why Rizwan and Shadab hesitate to give their inputs to the captain and bowler."
Further, Gul criticised Babar for not learning anything over the last few years while captaining Pakistan. Gul said that Babar didn't have an attacking mindset and when he needs to build pressure on the opposition, he isn't doing that referring to Afghanistan's brilliant chase against the Men in Green in Chennai as Pakistan were beaten rather comprehensively despite a good total of 282 runs on the board.
“He is leading the side for the past four years. He has led the team in almost all the big events. Not a single thing he has learnt over the period of time. When you need to apply pressure, he is not doing anything. When you need wickets, you don’t see the close-in fielders. You need to bring those strategies. We were playing against Afghanistan, he should have attacked by bringing the close-in fielders," Gul further added.
