Pakistani cricketer Azam Khan expressed disappointment in Pakistan's performance at the start of the T20 World Cup 2024. The team's lackluster preparations were evident during their tour of England, where they lost a 4-match T20I series.
The defeat against America, particularly in the Super Over, was humiliating. Team player Babar Azam faced criticism for his recent matches and questionable fitness. Azam Khan, a prominent figure in the team, has been under scrutiny for his weight and performance. Son of former player Moeen Khan, he made his T20 international debut in July 2021 and has been struggling to make an impact in recent games.
Despite criticism, he continues to be part of the T20 World Cup squad. Former captain Shahid Afridi and fans have questioned his place in the team due to fitness concerns. A viral video from the England tour showed Azam wiping sweat with notes, sparking further scrutiny. After being dismissed for a golden duck against the USA, Azam faced online mockery and backlash.
