ISLAMABAD – November 14 (ONLINE) Pakistan’s pace bowler Muhammad Amir has criticized Pakistan skipper Babar Azam for his “poor captaincy skills” at the Twenty20 Cricket World Cup.
“Our bowling has been the best in this tournament; no one could attack us. But yes, I can’t understand Nawaz’s case. After the first match against India, there was video made in the dressing room where Babar told Nawaz he was a match-winner. After that, it was hard to judge whether he played as a batsman or a bowler,” Amir said on Monday.
“It shows you don’t trust your player. If you’re saying something, you should act on it. Nawaz bowls the first over in PSL. He has won matches on his own. He could’ve done something today. I couldn’t understand the decision,” he maintained.
“Harry Brook was struggling against Shadab. Nawaz could’ve done something there. But then again, they will say that I criticise a lot.
The captain should be brave. You didn’t take brave decisions, and when you lose, these things are visible,” said Amir.
