Srinagar: Former Pakistan opener Imran Nazir has hit out at Babar Azam’s critics and has said that those who dont know cricket are criticising Pakistan’s star batter.
In a recent interview with Pakistan media outlet, Imran Nazir said Babar has a unique combination of technical prowess, cricketing skills, and personal character.
“For those who criticize Babar Azam, I would say, at least understand cricket first. He is the world’s best player, and I believe that in Pakistan, Babar is the player who, in terms of technique, as a cricketer, and as a personality embodies what it means to be a cricketer. A team doesn’t rely solely on one player; there are 10 other players who also contribute. He is doing his part; what about the rest?” Imran Nazir said.
“They say teamwork, how a team works together, and it’s not just one player’s teamwork. When the entire team is not doing anything, you can’t blame Babar as much as you want by lifting him, but now I also see that everyone is behind him, why don’t you say anything to the other players? He is making Pakistan proud, the rest of the world praises him, considers him a player, but here we sideline him and bring someone else in.” he said.
