Babar Azam Isn't A Leader Like Sarfaraz Ahmed - Imad Wasim's Blunt Remark

The Pakistan National Cricket Team veteran all-rounder Imad Wasim has shared his honest opinion on skipper Babar Azam, saying that he does normal captaincy and is not a good leader.

Under the leadership of Babar Azam, the Men In Green struggled in the Asia Cup 2023 and then in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The Babar Azam & Co. finished in the last position on the Super Four points table in the Asia Cup.

In the ICC Cricket World Cup 2022, Pakistan started off well by registering a couple of good victories but then went on a losing streak that put their semi-final qualification chances in jeopardy. The Men In Green need the ‘qudrat ka nizam’ to strike at full force to seal the last spot in the semi-finals.

Meanwhile, Imad Wasim recently shared his views on Babar Azam’s captaincy. He said that Babar is not a good leadership figure like Sarfaraz Ahmed and Younis Khan.

‘Babar Azam did normal captaincy, but he is not a leader. There are captains but then there are leaders too! Babar isn’t a leader like Sarfaraz Ahmed and Younis Khan,” Imad Wasim said.

Wasim Akram Takes Indirect Dig At Imad Wasim

All-rounder Imad Wasim wasn’t included in the Pakistan squad for the World Cup despite several experts backing his selection, considering his experience. After being left out of the squad, Imad has taken over the role of a television expert.

This didn’t go well with the Pakistan bowling legend Wasim Akram, who took an indirect dig at Imad for not sweating it out in domestic cricket and becoming a television expert.

Wasim Akram, during a discussion on A Sports with Misbah-ul-Haq, Shoaib Malik, and Moin Khan, didn’t mention the name of Imad Wasim, but his comments made everyone guess he was talking about the all-rounder.

“The players who are busy with the Pakistan team are fine but what about others? A couple of them are sitting on television and they want to play for Pakistan. How is that possible?, Akram said.
