By The previous coach of the Pakistani cricket team and Australian former batsman Matthew Hayden has declared Babar Azam a Natural Captain. In an interview he said that Babar Azam was a natural captain, this was a quick decision of the Pakistan Cricket Board to remove him from captaincy. He was surprised and saddened by the change of Captain. The Pakistan cricket team has faced a lot of challenges in World Cup 2023, right now team performance is more important than captaincy.
Matthew Hayden also said that the fast bowler Naseem Shah was injured, and there was concern over Shaheen Afridi’s performance, and when Fakhar Zaman gave the performance, it was too late. Then even the performance of Mohammed Nawaz and Shadab Khan was also not OK. Whoever has implemented the decision of captain change, ignored these important facts. His performance as a player is outstanding as compared to captain. The batting average as captain is around 50.
