Lahore – Pakistan’s interim white-ball head coach, Aaqib Javed, has stirred debate with a bold statement regarding star batter Babar Azam. Addressing concerns about Pakistan’s recent performances, Aaqib defended Babar’s role in the team, challenging critics to suggest an alternative.
“If there is any replacement for Babar, let me know,” Aaqib remarked, emphasizing the batter’s importance in the squad. His statement comes amid growing discussions about leadership and team selection, especially after Pakistan’s inconsistent performances in recent series.
Babar Azam, Pakistan’s top-order batter and former captain, has been under scrutiny following a string of mixed results. While some fans and analysts call for a leadership change, Aaqib’s remarks reaffirm Babar’s indispensable role in the team.
The debate over Babar’s future remains heated, but with Aaqib’s backing, it’s clear that the team management still sees him as a vital asset.
