Former England captain Michael Vaughan Slams PCB Foolish Move To Drop Babar Azam. He recently labeled the PCB’s decision to drop Babar Azam from the Test squad as “absolutely foolish decision.” This statement has stirred considerable debate among cricket fans.
The PCB’s selection committee opted to exclude Babar Azam for the remaining two Tests against England. This move followed a tough series, with Pakistan trailing 1-0. Vaughan expressed disbelief on X, saying, “So Pakistan haven’t won in a while… Go 1 nil down in the series and decide to drop the best player in Babar Azam.” He emphasized that this decision defied logic.
While Babar has struggled with form recently, he remains Pakistan’s standout batsman. His lack of runs, particularly in the last nine Tests, has raised eyebrows. Yet, Vaughan argues that dropping him won’t solve the team’s problems. He questioned the logic behind giving the best player a break during a crucial time.
Moreover, captain Shan Masood and head coach Jason Gillespie opposed the decision. They wanted to keep Babar in the squad. However, the PCB decided to move forward without him. Along with Babar, fast bowlers Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah were also dropped. Many see this as a panic reaction to mounting pressure.
Pakistan’s Test team is under scrutiny. They haven’t won a home Test since 2021. Critics believe the PCB’s decision may only add to their challenges. With the series at stake, fans and experts alike are eager to see how this will unfold. Will dropping Babar prove to be a mistake? Time will tell. Stay tuned for more information.
