'Babar Won't Fit In Nepal Starting XI' Shoaib Malik's Shocking Criticism For Former Pakistan Teammate

Babar has faced criticism for both his captaincy and batting. Despite being reappointed as captain, he couldn't deliver the desired results. Pakistan started the tournament with a shocking loss to the USA in a thrilling Super Over clash. They then suffered a 6-run defeat against arch-rivals India at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

In a newly surfaced video, Shoaib Malik remarked that Babar wouldn't fit into any top international teams like India, England, or Australia. Speaking on a talk show, Shoaib Malik questioned, "Who is our best player? Our best player is Babar Azam. I'm just talking about the top 4-5 teams. Can Babar fit into the playing XI of those teams? Of Australia, India, or England in this particular format? The answer is NO!"

After losing the first two matches, the Pakistan team faced heavy criticism from fans and former cricketers. They went on to win the rest of their Group A matches, defeating Canada by 7 wickets and Ireland by 3 wickets. However, these victories were insufficient for Pakistan to advance to the next stage, as the USA edged them out, finishing with 5 points.

Babar scored only 122 runs in four matches of the T20 World Cup, with his highest score being 44. He averaged 40.66 with a strike rate of 101.66.
