Danish Kaneria slams Babar Azam for not performing on large teams
Former Pakistani spinner Danish Kaneria is the latest contestant to legendary Pak player slamming their team after facing a crushing defeat in India on Sunday. Kaneria exploded in batsmen, Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam because they lacked the intention to oppose big opponents and piled up in most games against weaker teams. In a chat with ANI, Kaneria mentioned that Babar hasn’t scored for so long, but when he scored it was against Zimbabwe or a small team.
Kneria slams Babar Azam
“If he beats with a big team, there is no intention at all. There is no depth to hit. Salman Agha and Khushdil Shah sometimes contribute. Saud Shakeel is the technically correct batter. But Rizwan’s bat seems to have stopped working. When the Champions Trophy Squad is announced, people will be eliminated in the game very soon. Kenaria criticized Babar.
Kaneria problem Rizwan’s captain
Speaking about whether Rizwan should continue as the white team captain, Kaneria said he should stick with it because there are already many experienced captains in the locker room, such as Babar, Riz Rizwan and Shaheen.
“When you change so many captains, make so many changes and don’t show confidence, the question arises, why does the board appoint a person as captain?” he added. But Kaneria also claims that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) needs their captain as “yes man”, so captains like Rizwan are captains nearby.
Kaneria also questioned the selection committee and said the focus should be on giving players a year, and that within that time frame, the body must be honest about their performance. “If they don’t produce results, they can be asked to pack up and leave. There should be such strict guidelines. But here, they build teams based on friendship and PR. When you form a team for your country, you don’t think of yourself. But here, everyone sits and runs their shop. Score small and keep working. Things don’t work. If you work like this, you will also get such results,” he further said.
Meanwhile, Pakistan will face Bangladesh in its final match on Thursday, February 27.
