After the former cricketers, now even the politicians of Pakistan have started targeting the Pakistan cricket team captain, Babar Azam, for the disappointing performance of the team in the T20 World Cup, 2024.
In a recent video going viral on social media, a federal minister in Pakistan can be seen mocking Babar Azam in Parliament. In the video, the politician humorously suggests that Babar Azam should throw a party.
The federal minister criticized Babar Azam for losing against the USA and India. Notably, the Men in Green lost the first two matches of the T20 World Cup, 2024, and their hopes of making it to the Super 8s had almost vanished then and there only.
From Group A, it was the USA and India that made it to the Super 8s. The politician sarcastically suggested that Babar Azam should throw a party, gather everyone, and claim that a conspiracy has been plotted against him.

Notably, Babar Azam was reappointed as the white-ball captain of the Pakistan cricket team just before the T20 World Cup, 2024.
While Shaheen Afridi was handed over the captaincy after Babar stepped down following the team’s poor performance in the ODI World Cup, 2023, Shaheen Afridi could not continue for long as the PCB sacked him after just one series defeat against New Zealand.
Babar Azam To Submit Report to PCB
Babar Azam, who has been enjoying a holiday in London with his family after most of the Pakistan players returned to Pakistan following their poor performance and exit from the T20 World Cup 2024, is expected to return to Pakistan on Saturday.
As per reports, he has been asked to provide a report on the early exit of the Pakistan cricket team in the T20 World Cup, 2024. He is likely to submit this report after reaching Pakistan. The fate of his captaincy also lies in the hands of the Pakistan Cricket Board.
