Pakistan Cricket News : Pakistan Captain Babar Azam Shuts Down Rift Rumors, Sets Sights on Dominant T20 World Cup Win
Rumors swirled about a rift between Pakistani cricket stars Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi. This stemmed from Shaheen being replaced by Babar as captain of the national team. Reports suggested Shaheen was frustrated, particularly with a statement attributed to him by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that he claimed wasn’t his. To quell these rumors, Babar recently addressed their relationship during a press conference. He emphasized their long-standing bond, saying their friendship goes back a long way and that they continue to support each other despite the captaincy change.
Pakistan Cricket News: Babar further assured everyone that they prioritize the team’s success. He stated their goal is to win for Pakistan, not personal achievements. This team spirit, he claims, is what makes them strong. Interestingly, Babar pointed out that Shaheen was one of his biggest supporters when rumors of him losing captaincy surfaced a year ago. This highlights their mutual respect and history of backing each other up.
Babar also commented on rising star Usman Mir. He encouraged Mir to keep up the good work that earned him a spot on the team. Babar emphasized the importance of setting expectations and stressed that he has high standards for himself and his teammates. He finds it encouraging when young players like Mir get a chance and are supported by veterans.
Pakistan Cricket News : This team culture of mentoring, according to Babar, is crucial for helping new players adjust to international cricket and build confidence. He concluded by mentioning the upcoming New Zealand series, which he views as a key test for Pakistan before the T20 World Cup later this year. Pakistan, the runners-up from the 2022 World Cup, has their sights set on winning the championship this time around.
Babar acknowledged the difficulty in selecting the best playing XI due to the abundance of talented players in Pakistan. He reassured everyone that selections are based on performance and aimed at achieving the best outcome for the team. He emphasized that these matches are all part of their preparation for the upcoming World Cup, which kicks off tomorrow.
