The Babar Azam-led Pakistan cricket team may not be able to qualify for the Cricket World Cup semi-finals if things don't go their way in the remaining matches of the league stage. The Pakistan cricket team has so far lost its last three games to India, Australia, and Afghanistan. They next face South Africa on Friday, and they must win that match to keep their semi-final hopes alive.
In the middle of this pressure situation, former Pakistan star player Mohammad Yousuf said that he heard Babar cry after the loss.
Yousuf said, “I saw the press conference, and it seemed that Babar Azam is under pressure. I heard Babar Azam cry too. We are with Babar Azam. We don't lose due to one individual; it's a team game. If we had been on the team, it would have been our responsibility too. Win and loss are part of the game.”
He further said, "I felt sad looking at Babar. He should not take too much stress. They should focus on the next four matches. The entire nation is with him. But we need to analyse some things honestly. We were 50–60 runs short against Afghanistan on a good pitch. It seemed like Pakistan was facing Muralitharan. These are normal bowlers. Our fielding and bowling were also not good.”
