Mohammad Amir jumps in support of Babar Azam

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir has jumped in support of out-of-form batter Babar Azam giving shut up call to critics targeting the batter.

In a post on X, the veteran pacer wrote some strong words in favour of the former skipper, calling on critics to stop personal attacks and unfounded claims against the batsman.

Following Pakistan‘s famous victory over England in the second Test at Multan, the critics started targeting Babar and suggested that his exclusion from the from the squad brought success to the team.

However, the comment didn’t go well with Amir, who urged fans and pundits to stop the negative narrative surrounding Babar’s absence.

“Yar pls yeah ghatia soch khatam karo k Babar team me ni tha ya woh player ni tha to team jeet gayi (Please end these petty talks that the team won because Babar or other players were not in the team),” Amir wrote. He further explained, “Hum better planning k sath khelay, home advantage liya aur jeet gaye (We played with better planning, took the home advantage, and won).”

Amir went on to remind critics to keep their comments performance-based and avoid personal attacks on players. “Pls personal na hn apne players k sath, yes performance base ap baat karen but pls personal na hn (You can talk based on performance, but please don’t get personal with players),” he urged.

It is worth mentioning here that Shan Masood XI registered a 152-run victory on Friday to break the 11-match winless streak.
