'Country Comes First...': After R Ashwin, Ex-Pakistan Star's Brutal Take On Babar Azam
Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has slammed Babar Azam for prioritising personal milestones over team success and expressed concerns about Pakistan's preparations ahead of their marquee Champions Trophy clash against India in Dubai on Sunday. The former Pakistan captain, who recently lost his ODI No. 1 ranking to Shubman Gill, was blamed for his slow knock of 64 off 90 balls in the Champions Trophy opener against New Zealand. His inability to accelerate the run rate and dismissal in the crucial 34th over contributed to Pakistan's 60-run defeat, putting their title defence in jeopardy. Kaneria pointed out Pakistan's struggling batting lineup, accusing Azam of focusing more on his individual performance than the team's success.
