Shoaib Malik & Parthiv Patel called Babar Azam an unfit & selfish cricketer
Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik and ex-Indian cricketer Parthiv Patel slammed Babar Azam by calling him an unfit and selfish cricketer. Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistan Cricket Team, has come under fire for his consistently bad performance.
Babar could not give the desired results being captain and a batter. The recent major blow came to Pakistan following its elimination from the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024.
The criticism started with a shocking tournament loss to the USA by five runs in Super Over and eventually to India by six runs in the next match. All this disappointing tournament and previous performances under the captainship of Babar have gained widespread criticism.
Shoaib called Babar, an unfit player for playing in top international teams for shorter formats like T-20. He passed these remarks while giving an interview at a local sports show.
He questioned who was the best player of the Pakistani Cricket Team. That is Babar Azam. He is talking about the top four to five international teams. Those teams are Australia, India, and England.
Shoaib asked if Babar fit into those teams playing as an XI player in a particular format of T-20. He responded saying, “No.” He emphasized that cricket teams like Nepal even would not choose him to play in T-20.
On the other hand, former Indian cricketer Parthiv Patel criticized Babar Azam, calling him a “selfish cricketer.” Parthiv claimed Babar put ahead his self-interest instead of the team’s interest.

He said when a team’s captain is selfish, then there is no chance. Captains usually want to open the innings, but Babar prefers to play lower. So, when your captain does this, the team cannot achieve anything.
Parthiv also described the Pakistani team as weak, featuring Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. He remarked this is the weakest Pakistan team ever in cricket history.
He also recalled times when Pakistani cricket superstars, including Wasim Akram, Saqlain Mushtaq, and Shoaib Akhtar, used to play. In brief, Shoaib Malik & Parthiv Patel called Babar Azam an unfit & selfish cricketer due to his inefficient performance and poor captainship.
