Does he also hold the burger record?He has an 18 ball 50 for them

Why not opt for Vitality Blast, Big Bash, Hundred etc? These competitions are of much higher quality and would really help Azam improve his skills, if that's what he wants.PCB has denied NOC to Azam Khan for LPL.
As per reports: He has withdrawn himself from LPL and will apply for NOCs for CPL and ILT20 later.
He doesn't want that, that's the point.Why not opt for Vitality Blast, Big Bash, Hundred etc? These competitions are of much higher quality and would really help Azam improve his skills, if that's what he wants.
Because he might fail in Blast or big bash because of the pitches and quality of bowing.Why not opt for Vitality Blast, Big Bash, Hundred etc? These competitions are of much higher quality and would really help Azam improve his skills, if that's what he wants.
Azam Khan has already had too many opportunities. He doesn't seem serious about his cricketing career otherwise with such weight nobody would be allowed to come near to domestic cricket.Aamer Jamal on Azam's recent sloppy run:
"I think Azam is under pressure because he didn't have a good start, whether it was his debut or comeback. As a player, I will never criticise Azam. If you want to develop a player, the process should be to give him opportunities in conditions where he has performed well. This builds his confidence and boosts his performance, enabling him to deliver in any condition,”
I’m afraid the only thing where his talent exceeds everyone else’s is when it comes to eating. He is categorically unmatched in any and all facets of eating. Take a bow, Azam Khan.I think Azam is more talented than Saim or Haris. He strikes the ball more cleanly and more powerfully and isn’t over predicting like those two tend to do. You could see the difference, Azam easily dismantled Ireland while Saim struggled. Even his domestic t20 stats it’s extremely rare to be putting up those sort of numbers at such a high SR at a more difficult position lower down.
But I don’t think he’ll ever succeed at internationals because of his weight. Too easy to take advantage of it. He also was just a complete liability on the field, his keeping and fielding were awful and it will be difficult to offset that even if he performs with the bat.
But I think in general people really underrate just how talented this guy is. And probably overrate some of the others.

He has some talent but his lazy reflexes won't allow him to showcase it. That's why until he loses weight he can't succeed at the international level.What talent are we talking about,
1. No runs at the international level
2. Technique badly exposed against pace and spin
3. Cannot handle pressure at all
All a bowler has to do is keep ball away from his arc and Azam Khan will throw his wicket away cheaply..
I disagree with your statement, he has no talent...
Azam khan had a bad outing today in CPL game., He scored just 9 runs off 9 balls, playing for Guyana Amazon Warriors against Antigua and Barbuda Falcons.
How bad is this guy?
He's the worst player to ever play for pakistan period.This guy is playing CPL these days.
Today, his team Guyana Amazon Warriors scored 266 runs in their 20 overs and imagine how many he scored out of those 266?
He scored a pathetic 2 runs off 4 balls. He is not even fit enough for any league now and we played this guy in t20 world cup.
Mark wood gave him a reality check. Seems like even bowlers that bowl at lesser pace trouble him with short stuffs. He is way below international standard.
Shakeel Ansar...He's the worst player to ever play for pakistan period.
Shan is the worst test player to have played for pakistan factoring in 50 games or more with asad shafiq being pakistan's worst odi player factoring in 50 games or more
But azam khan is the absolute worst..I literally cannot think of a single batter worse then him, be it imran butt or adnan akmal or anyone really.
Shakeel Ansar played only 2 t20's and batted in only one bhai?Shakeel Ansar...
Azam Khan gains weight when he’s on the fieldWhen England tours Pakistan for the three-test series in October, let’s haven Azam Khan as the substitute fielder! As England play bazzball, picture him in the outfield, cheerfully chasing after balls while simultaneously shedding weight. By the time the October ends, not only will Moin Khan get to witness his son’s glory on the field, but Azam will have shed enough pounds to moonlight as a featherweight boxer. It’s a win-win: cricket, cardio, and family pride all rolled into one hilariously athletic adventure!
Nawaz Sharif never played for Pakistan, Shakeel Ansar did.Shakeel Ansar played only 2 t20's and batted in only one bhai?
By this logic nawaz sharif is even worse since unlike shakeel, nawaz sharif has only played 1 game and got out on a duck.
Shakeel ansar got a 17 avg in List A while Nawaz Sharif got a 0.
I guess they did. Exposed him badly. Making him probably the worst guy to play for pakistan in wcForget about foreign coaches does International bowlers makes him feel that he lacks in many skills? Mark Wood? Adil Rashid?
And he left the one-day domestic cup which could get him selected for the national team if he performed but he chose to play t20 cricket where he is getting ducks regularly...LOLHe will never improve until he plays 4 day cricket.
He will soon have no league cricket calling him either.
He needs to consistently be playing every FC domestic tournament and even if it means shunning a league or two for his own betterment.
As if azam khan can play 4 day lol, he'd pass out on day 1He will never improve until he plays 4 day cricket.

In HD, I think he's been found out against the short stuff from fast bowlers. Tbh wasn't really that fast tbh, 124k!
And that was fun to see Azam Khan struggling against Mark Wood. Azam was cluelessIn HD, I think he's been found out against the short stuff from fast bowlers. Tbh wasn't really that fast tbh, 124k!
He wouldn't have performed there either.And he left the one-day domestic cup which could get him selected for the national team if he performed but he chose to play t20 cricket where he is getting ducks regularly...LOL
have you checked his strike rate?I refuse to beleive that in a cricket crazy country like Pakistan with the legacy cricketers they have produced and where cricket is played very competitively at every level, there isn’t a better option than Azam Khan. No amount of economic or political issues justify that.
good for Pakistan cricket that he is staying in West Indies and doing wonders there... lolAnd he left the one-day domestic cup which could get him selected for the national team if he performed but he chose to play t20 cricket where he is getting ducks regularly...LOL
Yeah it was Ramiz’s fault how Azam Khan has tripled his calories intake over the last 3 years.Moin Khan in a recent interview accused Ramiz Raja of demoralizing his son, Azam Khan:
"In the 2022 (2021) World Cup, Azam was also selected for the team, but Ramiz Raja dropped him. At that time, if the chief selector had made a wrong selection, he should have been removed, but they didn't have the courage, and as a result, they demoralized a young player. In this World Cup as well, you can see how he played,"
"I watched the entire World Cup and the matches leading up to it, and it seemed like Azam was the number one choice for wicketkeeping and batting. Then suddenly, after just one match, the entire strategy was changed. Azam wasn't given a chance to keep wickets after one match and was dropped after getting out on the very first ball,"
"I'm not saying that all the blame lies with the team management and the captain; Azam has his own shortcomings too. He needs to make himself physically and mentally stronger, follow the fitness routines of other sportsmen. For the past month or so, I've noticed he's been working hard to improve his fitness with his trainer Shehzar Mohammad, even taking him along to the Caribbean League,"
means still he is trying to save his son here no wonder why Azam Khan is not willing to lose his weight.Moin Khan in a recent interview accused Ramiz Raja of demoralizing his son, Azam Khan:

I think Moin Khan needs to stop being a loving mother and start being a tough father.Moin Khan in a recent interview accused Ramiz Raja of demoralizing his son, Azam Khan:

FITNESS OR PERFORMANCE?
His father once said in the media "How can I stop my child from eating something?" So you can now imagine how important fitness is for this father son duo.FITNESS OR PERFORMANCE?
Perhaps this is why he responds, 'Let's focus on performance, not fitness,' when questioned about his physical condition by the media
This is hilarious because this was such an easy stumping, but with azam khan he's making it look like a Dhoni level stumping lol.So this lump of lard has taken a stumping what do you want to give him? Gold medal/ice cream

Gurbaz 7 off 5 in the same match opening with him.After consecutive failures, Amazon Warriors decided to send Azam Khan as an opener and it eventually worked to some extent as he got a start in tonight's CPL match but again this bablu couldn't capitalize on it and did what he never paid for, he thrown his wicket after scoring 26 runs off 17 deliveries against the Barbados Royals.
Gurbaz is performing consistently so failure once in a while is acceptable but what Azam Khan is doing with his franchise is just draining their money in a khu.Gurbaz 7 off 5 in the same match opening with him.
What are you looking for exactly?Today, Azam Khan scored 26 off 17 balls in a CPL game where his team scored a mammoth total of 219 and won the game in the end.
This is nowhere near the batter we are looking for. This guy failed in whole CPL till now no matter the number he played on. Franchises are wasting their money on this guy.
Certainly not these stats for an international player.What are you looking for exactly?
Can you share the type of stats you likeCertainly not these stats for an international player.
Here you go, brother:Can you share the type of stats you like
Can you share stats of T20 openers you like and want for Pakistan?Here you go, brother:
I know that you were hoping that I will quote rizwan here,,,LOL but no. SKY i an ideal T20 player that we need.
DID YOU WATCH THIS GUY'S PREVIOUS INNINGS???? ALl OF THEM??Can you share stats of T20 openers you like and want for Pakistan?
I’m struggling to understand what your argument is here having said Azam’s 27 off 17….which helped his side score 217 is not what Pakistan is looking for.
Is azam Khan the opener that you want for Pakistan???Can you share stats of T20 openers you like and want for Pakistan?
I’m struggling to understand what your argument is here having said Azam’s 27 off 17….which helped his side score 217 is not what Pakistan is looking for.
I saw the last innings where he made 25 odd again, his team wonDID YOU WATCH THIS GUY'S PREVIOUS INNINGS???? ALl OF THEM??
If I had a choice between Babar, Rizwan and Azam Khan to open for me in T20s…I know the 2 who I most certainly don’t want.Is azam Khan the opener that you want for Pakistan???
look at his previous scores in CPL. HIs international record is pathetic. You want this mediocrity??? good luck
We will see. Wait for the tournament to end or Guyana Amazon Warriors to be knocked outGurbaz is performing consistently so failure once in a while is acceptable but what Azam Khan is doing with his franchise is just draining their money in a khu.
second option is very likely to happen, considering Azam Khan is in their team.We will see. Wait for the tournament to end or Guyana Amazon Warriors to be knocked out
Is that your headache or the franchise that’s investing money to play him? He was retained by AGW, he’s been retained by DV in the ILT20 and will be retained again by IU. He’s getting retained every season by those who are investing a lot of money for him to play….why don’t you email them your concerns? They might realise upon your email that they are wrong about him?Revisit this post in 5 years- either you will see a fit Azam Khan playing for Pak
Or
He will be playing legends league, T10 and other lower tier tournaments.
Nothing in between.
I caught up on a cpl match a week ago, the guy can hardly complete 2 runs. He can hit 6’s but between all the dots and missed strike rotation, it will give you the same returns. In fact might be counter productive unless it is an absolute road.
Maybe if impact sub rule gets impelemented like IPL in all leagues and internationals, he might have a chance.
I am still kind of justifying him but sorry such players should be nowhere near main first class sides leave alone internationals unless they have something really outstanding to offer.
If he is making money and getting opportunities good for him.Is that your headache or the franchise that’s investing money to play him?

Who’s the better alternative these franchises want to invest in from Pakistan? I’m talking about the top tier T20 leagues? Not Bangla premier league or Canada league. Which alternative in Pakistan is being hired?If he is making money and getting opportunities good for him.
If people are spending their money on him- none of my business.
However as a cricket fan- no way you can convince me that in Pak where every gully there is a cricket match going on, there isn’t a better alternative than Azam Kham. I feel bad for himand don’t approve of the body shaming and toxic criticism but c’mon.
Mention Pakistan batters who have a higher strike rate than him. If you can't then accept you are wrong about him.If he is making money and getting opportunities good for him.
