Aaqib Javed, the former Pakistani bowler, and now a coach questioned Shoaib Malik’s removal without a good alternative and said that the opener Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are not going to take Pakistan to win in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Giving a reference to the recently finished Asia Cup 2022, he also criticized the selectors, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), and team management for not giving a chance to the bench strength.
In the Asia Cup, Babar scored, 10 off 9 balls against India, 9 off 8 balls vs Hong Kong, 14 off 10 balls against India, 0 off 1 ball vs Afghanistan, 30 off 29 balls in super 4, and 5 runs off 6 balls in the final vs Sri Lanka.
