South Africa Great's 'English Not Great' Jibe At Babar Azam: "Difficult To Get..."

Former South Africa batter Herschelle Gibbs has attacked former Pakistan captain Babar Azam over his English speaking skills, adding that the language barrier makes it hard for others to communicate with him. This isn't the first time that a current or former cricketer has questioned Babar's ability to communicate in English. While responding to a fan's query, who asked Gibbs to give some batting advice to Babar amid his lean patch, the former South Africa opening batter suggested that Babar's poor communication skills can be a bit challenging for others to put across a thought.

"Hey Gibbs, How about giving some suggestions to Babar Azam like you did back in 2021/2022 during PSL with Karachi Kings? I guess he won't deny your interference this time," the fan tweeted.

"Language is an issue with babar .. as you know his English isn't great so it's difficult to get points across to him," Gibbs replied.

Meanwhile, former Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal feels making Babar open is ruining his confidence and the team combination.

Babar, struggling for form, failed to quench his thirst for runs and returned to the dressing room after a ragged 10(23). Kamran feels Babar's confidence and the team combination are suffering due to the current lineup.

"You are making Babar open. With this decision, the team combination is ruined, and so is Babar's confidence," Kamran said on his YouTube channel.

From Tests to ODIs, Babar has continued to endure scrutiny for his inconsistency. However, Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan believes Babar is simply a victim of his own success.
