When Babar Azam, the newly chosen Pakistan captain, took Shaheen Shah Afridi’s spot last month, Shaheen was not happy. The way it was handled sparked controversy since Afridi was upset over a statement on dafabet website that included statements from him that he had not said.
In his maiden news conference as skipper for the second time, Babar spoke ahead of Pakistan’s my 11 circle International series against New Zealand. The batter informed supporters that he and the pacer get along well while discussing their relationship. “I want to make clear that Shaheen [Afridi] and my bond is not recent, it goes back a long way,” he stated.
“We help one another out in all circumstances. Our goal is to prioritize Pakistan and find ways to raise awareness of Pakistan. We don’t consider individual success, and fortunately, my squad does not possess those qualities,” he continued.
“Usman needs to keep doing the things that got him here,” he remarked in reference to Usman Mir. Every player has expectations from us. I have expectations on both my players and myself. When a younger player is given a chance and the more experienced players support them, that makes me happy. We attempt to mentor young players since, when it comes to international cricket, they first face difficulties and require encouragement and self-assurance. After that, such athletes serve Pakistan.”
Recall that betway was among the first to support Babar when rumors about him losing his captaincy started to circulate a year ago.
Pakistan’s performance in the New Zealand series will serve as a benchmark before the June start of the T20 World Cup. Pakistan, who finished second in the 2022 T20 World Cup, will want to win it this time.
