Pakistan’s three-match Test tour of England continues with the side trailing 0-2, after which former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar publicly criticises captain Babar Azam. Akhtar’s comments target Babar’s leadership, describing it as weak amid Pakistan’s difficult run in the series.
The reporting frames the criticism as part of the wider debate surrounding Pakistan’s performance and decision-making during the ongoing matches. While the sources agree on Akhtar’s role in making the remarks and the context of Pakistan being behind 0-2, they focus primarily on the leadership angle rather than providing detailed specifics about the captain’s individual tactics or particular incidents from the games.
Overall, the story centres on the contrast between Pakistan’s current results in England and Akhtar’s assessment of how the team is being led, with the captain under public scrutiny while the series remains in progress.
