Azam Khan has faced significant criticism within Pakistani cricket circles during the 2024 T20 World Cup. Though named to the squad, he faced struggles, including a first-ball duck against the USA and subsequent omissions from crucial matches against India and Canada. Criticism has not only focused on his poor T20I record, averaging 8.80, but also on concerns over his fitness and weight.
Azam Khan’s woes deepened on June 11th when fans spotted him eating during Pakistan’s match against Canada, further infuriating them. This incident occurred amidst ongoing scrutiny over his fitness and performance. Fans took to social media to mock and criticize him, with many questioning his commitment to the team amidst their disappointing performances in the tournament.
Despite these distractions, Pakistan managed to defeat Canada by seven wickets under Babar Azam’s captaincy, securing their first win in Group A of the T20 World Cup. They now look ahead to a crucial match against Ireland on June 16 at Lauderhill’s Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, aiming to advance in the competition.
