Ramiz Raja fuels debate on Azam’s future says, “Babar sells cricket for Pakistan”
Ramiz Raja has voiced his concerns regarding Babar Azam’s exclusion from the Pakistan cricket team, labelling it a “knee-jerk reaction” by selectors. Raja emphasized that such decisions could have broader implications, particularly in terms of marketability and sponsorship for Pakistan cricket. He warned that the absence of star players like Babar, who is one of the most recognizable faces in cricket, could deter sponsors and affect the financial health of the sport in the country.
Babar Azam, known for his exceptional batting skills and leadership qualities, has been a pivotal figure in Pakistan cricket. Raja’s comments reflect a growing sentiment among fans and analysts who believe that the selectors’ decisions should be more strategic rather than reactive. He highlighted the need for a stable team environment where key players are supported rather than sidelined during tough times.
