Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim has strongly supported Babar Azam despite the batter’s recent dip in form. Imad emphasized Babar’s significance to the team, stating, “Babar Azam is our captain. He’s my leader and my captain. There should be no harsh criticism or any personal attacks from anyone when he comes back to Pakistan after this World Cup.” He further urged that players representing Pakistan not face personal attacks.
This backing comes in the wake of Pakistan’s early exit from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, where Babar’s performances were under intense scrutiny. Notably, Indian cricketing figures like Navjot Singh Sidhu and Sunil Gavaskar have also defended Babar, urging respect and suggesting technical adjustments to help him regain form.
Imad’s support highlights the importance of unity and encouragement within the cricketing community during challenging times for players.
