Do not make Babar Azam the sole scapegoat... Wasim Akram told who is the biggest culprit

Before the start of World Cup 2023, the Pakistan team was projected as the biggest contender for the title, but it could win only 4 out of 9 matches. After Pakistan's departure from the World Cup, veteran former cricketer Wasim Akram has said that it is not right to blame captain Babar Azam alone for the poor performance of the Pakistan team. He has said that Babar Azam should not be made a scapegoat for this. The entire system of Pakistan cricket is responsible for the condition of the team.

Wasim Akram on Pakistani TV channel A Sports said that the captain does not play the match alone. Yes, Babar has made some mistakes in the World Cup and Asia Cup, but he alone is not responsible for the defeat. This is the fault of the entire system because for one year the players do not know who our coach is. You cannot just make Babar Azam a scapegoat.

Wasim Akram further said that Babar Azam is a star player. When he scores runs the whole country is happy. But, captaincy has put pressure on Babar Azam's performance. Babar looked stressed during the World Cup and Asia Cup. They have to learn to manage pressure. When he comes to bat, he should focus only on batting.
