Pakistan cricket is the hotbed of one controversy after another. Just as there is rivalry between the players, there is also a war of words between the former players and the team management. This time the controversy revolved around a statement by Pakistan’s opening batsman Imam-ul-Haq which has been questioned by former wicketkeeper batsman Rashid Latif. The former captain also questioned the authority of Babar Azam in this incident.

Pakistan won the ODI against New Zealand in Karachi on Wednesday. Imam-ul-Haq gave his opinion on the batting order in the press conference after awarding the award. He was asked if Iftikhar and Haris should be given a chance in the XI to sharpen the middle order in the remaining matches against New Zealand.

The legendary Inzamam-ul-Haq’s nephew’s reply was—“No matter what I say honestly. We don’t have time to run the experiment right now. We have power hitters like Agha Salman, Shadab and Nawaz in the middle order. They need courage. If we had many matches in hand, we would have needed to give Haris and Iftikhar a chance. This is my thought, Babar Azam may think otherwise.” Rashid Latif criticized this comment of Imam-ul-Haq. The former wicketkeeper batter said on his YouTube channel, how Imam can give such a statement in the batting order without being the captain.

After his statement, where is Babar Azam’s authority in the team as a captain? Now it’s up to you to decide who the captain of the Pakistan team is and who is not.
