Babar Azam faces criticism from a former Pakistan cricketer after Pakistan’s Test series loss to England last week. The ex-player argues that Babar did not adequately back or stand up for his players and coaching staff in the aftermath of the defeat.
The coverage focuses on the nature of leadership and team management rather than on specific match incidents. While NDTV highlights the criticism and includes the view that Babar should have stepped down or resigned, the underlying point across reporting is that questions are raised about how responsibility is handled following the series result. The reports frame the dispute as commentary on captaincy and decision-making during a period of poor performance, with the criticism directed at Babar’s response to the team’s situation after the England matches.
Overall, the outlets converge on the timing—following the England Test series loss—and on the broad accusation that leadership was lacking, while they differ mainly in how harshly they phrase the call for accountability.
