Mohammad Amir issues an official statement on Babar Azam trolling after Pakistan beat England in Multan

After Pakistan ended their losing streak spectacularly in Test cricket, many have been sarcastically crediting Babar Azam for the team’s comeback. On Friday, October 18, the Shan Masood-led Pakistan cricket team crushed England by 152 runs in the second Test at Multan to level the ongoing three-match Test series 1-1 at home.

Actually, before this stunning comeback, the Pakistan selectors had dropped the superstars of the national team like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah for the remainder of the home Test series against the England cricket team. They stated that these players were given rest to find their form.

After dropping Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah, the Pakistan selectors added Kamran Ghulam, Haseebullah, Mehran Mumtaz, as well as seasoned spinners Sajid Khan and Noman Ali to the squad for the rest of the two Test matches against England.

Well, the decision turned out a masterstroke for the Pakistan cricket team, as Sajid Khan and Noman Ali were lethal with the ball and played significant a role in the team’s series-leveling victory over the Ben Stokes and his team at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Friday.

Sajid Khan and Noman Ali both together took all 20 wickets while Kamran Ghulam smoked his maiden Test hundred to help Pakistan to win their first Test match since 2021. After Pakistan’s much-needed victory, fans have been trolling the dropped players, especially Babar Azam.

Well, Mohammad Amir made it clear that Pakistan’s massive win over England in the second Test was a result of smart planning and home advantage. The fast bowler urged fans to focus on performance instead of making personal attacks on players, reminding them that the victory was a team effort.

(Please stop this negative mindset that says the team only won because Babar wasn’t playing or a certain player wasn’t in the team. We played with better planning, took advantage of being at home, and won. Please don't get personal with your players. Yes, discuss performance, but avoid making it personal.)”
