Revenge for defeat against India in T20 World Cup still underway! Why is the blame falling on Babar and Shaheen? The coach revealed everything

News India Live, Digital Desk: The turmoil in Pakistan cricket is not showing any signs of stopping. The echo of that crushing defeat against India in the T20 World Cup is still being heard in the Pakistani dressing room. Captain Babar Azam and star fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi are constantly being targeted. Now Pakistan’s coach has broken his silence on this entire controversy and has given a very frank answer. Why blame the defeat on the veterans? Ever since the defeat against India, Pakistani fans and former cricketers have been criticizing Babar and Shaheen. The coach believes that when the team loses, the big names are the first ones to be made scapegoats. The coach clarified that it is wrong to blame only one or two players, because cricket is a team game. 3 main points of the coach’s statement: A game of pressure: It is not everyone’s cup of tea to bear the pressure of an India-Pak match, and our planning failed that day. Defense of Babar-Shaheen: The coach said that Babar and Shaheen are the precious gems of Pakistan. His one defeat cannot diminish his years of contribution. Dressing room environment: After the defeat, the coach completely rejected the news of factionalism within the team and termed it as ‘external noise’. Is there a rift between Shaheen and Babar? There are often reports in social media and Pakistani media that there is a rift between Shaheen and Babar regarding captaincy. On this, the coach clarified and said, “It doesn’t matter to us what anyone says outside the field. Shaheen and Babar are professionals and they stand together for the country.” The wounds of the T20 World Cup are still there. In that match played in New York, Pakistan had failed to chase an easy target. That defeat not only led to Pakistan’s exit from the tournament but also broke the morale of the entire team. Now PCB is preparing to make major changes in the team for the upcoming series, but the coach’s stance is clear that progress can be made only by taking experienced players along. What is the future of Pakistan cricket? There is a huge pressure on the Pakistan Cricket Board in view of the upcoming Champions Trophy and other big tournaments. Will Babar Azam be able to save his captaincy? Or will Shaheen be given command again? This ‘candid’ (candid) response of the coach has tried to cool the fire for the time being, but if the performance does not improve, it is certain to fall.
