Former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi criticized captain Babar Azam after the loss against Afghanistan. He cited the example of the team's former captains.

Pakistan entered India with great expectations. However, after losing three matches in a row, Pakistan isn’t in a good situation at all. The most criticized behind this is the team captain Babar Azam. Questions have also been raised about his leadership qualities.

Especially after losing by a big margin to Afghanistan, he is facing much criticism. This time, Shahid Afridi joined Babar's criticism team. He told a Pakistani TV channel, "It is the captain's job to apply pressure, a pacer is bowling and there is no slip? Four are required on 12 balls and you've taken backward point? Apply pressure. What do the Australians do? They take one to two wickets and then put all of their players in the circle to apply pressure, like they did against Pakistan.”

"Captaining your national side is a matter of honour, but it is not a bed of roses. When you do good, everyone praises you and when you don't, everyone blames you as well as the head coach," Afridi added.

In their first two matches, Pakistan were victorious over the Netherlands and Sri Lanka. After suffering a string of losses, however, they now sit in last place, with only four points and a net run rate of -0.400.
