Summary
- Babar Azam cited his Player of the Series award from the last Test series.
- He responded to critics during a press conference before the third Test.
- Selectors dropped other players based on their recent batting form.
Babar Azam, the Pakistan captain, has vocally addressed scrutiny regarding his batting form. He pointed to his distinction as Player of the Series in the most recent Test series against the West Indies as evidence of his capabilities. Azam shared these thoughts during a press conference held on Tuesday, ahead of Pakistan's third and final Test match against England.
The visitors were aiming to secure a win in this match to salvage pride, having already conceded the series 2-0 to England. Azam's defense of his performance came after a reporter questioned him about his Test statistics, especially in light of the Pakistan Cricket Board's selectors dropping Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha based on their recent form.
Azam's direct response emphasized his personal success in the prior series, stating, "If you talk about the performance, mere khayaal se, last series mein Man of the Series mai hi tha." This assertion serves as a direct rebuttal to critics and a reminder of his consistent contributions.
