Wasim Criticizes Babar Azam’s Stubbornness and Reveals Hidden Injuries in Pakistan
During an interview with a local sports platform, Mohammad Wasim labeled Babar Azam as “very stubborn” for his resistance to the selection committee’s decisions.
“It was painful to make him understand the advantages of changes. He was very stubborn, and I overstepped my limitations to get him on board with certain calls. He was not ready to accept changes,” Wasim revealed.
The former opening batter also highlighted the issues of all-rounder Imad Wasim, who according to Wasim hid his knee injury from the management.
“Imad has a knee injury, but he has been hiding it for years. We always speak about Azam Khan’s fitness levels, but Imad is also suffering from the same problem,” he added.
“He was dropped from the side for that same reason, and I also dropped him during my tenure so that he could work on his fitness.”
Mohammad Wasim made a shocking revelation, indicating that there is a specific group of players whose negative impact on the national team is similar to that of cancer, and is harming the team’s ability to succeed.
“I will not take names, but four coaches said that a group of players is cancer to the team. If they are part of the squad, Pakistan can’t win. I tried to remove them from the team, but the team management recalled them,” he concluded.
