Pakistan has had serious issues with team management as they have had several controversies over the team selections. However, Babar Azam, the veteran batsman, has finally made a return to all formats.
The PCB has now announced three different skippers for all formats of the game. Salman Agha leads them in the shortest format of the game, Shaheen Afridi leads them in the ODI format, and finally Shan Masood leads them in the longest format of the game.
Azam Khan has made a shocking claim that there are players within the Pakistan team who are disclosing internal information to the media, claiming this is a form of corruption. He also alleged that central contracts for such players should be canceled.
“Some say other things; there is a fakhta bird or whatever, this or that. I mean, this is also a problem with our players, that their friendships with the journalists often take a drastic turn. I am also friends with journalists, which is not a problem, but I mean, if I am not sincere with my work and if I leak all the news, then I think I am also a traitor to my country, which he called ‘desh drohi’,” Azam Khan said in an interaction with Cricwick.
“You should be on good terms with the journalists, but you should not tell them who is paying and so on. That is like a violation of anti-corruption. You should not tell anyone about the changes in the playing XI or about what is happening in the dressing room,” he added.
Azam Khan revealed a lack of unity within the Pakistani dressing room
Pakistani cricketer Azam Khan has exposed a lack of unity within the Pakistani cricket team. It has not appeared that the players are involved with each other, as are the players from several other Member States.
Khan has revealed that Mike Hesson, the head coach, and the senior players within the Pakistan team have disagreed over several decisions, which have led to a feud within the team. Several other players within the squad have revealed the same.
Azam Khan said that there is a player in the Pakistan team who is a friend of Fakhta and he has leaked a new dressing room who is playing as an XI. That player’s central contract should be terminated and he should be charged with corruption.
He also said that there is no unity in the team. #AzamKhan pic.twitter.com/G6xjoasAoq
