The Pakistan team is going through a very bad phase these days. The performance of the team is continuously declining. First the Asia Cup, then the 2023 ODI World Cup and now the T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan's performance has been very poor in all three. During this time, Babar Azam was captaining the team, so questions are being raised on him.
Many former Pakistani players said that he does not have the ability to captain. Now there is talk of removing him from captaincy. Babar has even been accused of fixing. Amidst all this, Australian player of Pakistani origin Usman Khawaja has told the real reason for the downfall of the Pakistan cricket team.Australia's legendary opener Usman Khawaja was questioned during a function in Melbourne about the current state of the Pakistan cricket team after being eliminated from the group stage in the T20 World Cup.
In response to this, he said that when he looks at the Pakistan team from outside, things keep changing here all the time. Sometimes the selection committee changes, sometimes the staff changes and sometimes the players change. There is never stability in the team, it becomes difficult for such players to play. According to Khawaja, despite having talent, the Pakistan team is not able to play well due to lack of stability.Usman Khawaja about Pakistan cricket and Babar#BabarAzam #PakistanCricket #T20WorldCup24 pic.twitter.com/jy2utpl1h7

Usman Khawaja was also questioned about Babar Azam's captaincy.
He was asked whether he should captain Pakistan despite this performance. On this, Khawaja said that if Babar can do it, he should definitely do it. According to Khawaja, Pakistani fans have very high expectations from their players, but only one of the two teams can win.Many former Pakistani players have expressed concern over the things said by Usman Khawaj. Many great players including Waqar Younus and Wasim Akram believe that the lack of stability in the Pakistan Cricket Board is a big problem.
Let us tell you that three chairmen of the board have changed in the last one year.
