Babar Azam’s Father Reacts to Criticism From Former Cricketers, Mocks PCB

Babar Azam’s father Azam Siddique hit out at critics who lashed out over his son's poor run of form with the willow on Thursday. This was after the former Pakistan captain was dropped from Pakistan’s T20I squad for the New Zealand series .

Babar's father also launched a scathing attack on the PCB for dropping his son and taking to social media shared a lengthy post where he backed Babar to bounce back in T20 format.

" Boss is Always Right. Member of ICC's Twenty20 of the year team and even after getting the cap, he will drop. It is okay. He will perform in National T20 and in PSL. Insha Allah, he will come back soon after performing in the team. That's the only respectable.

Directing his ire towards the former cricketers who had criticised Babar, he also reminded them about their own past records.

"They are very big former players. They are requested to keep their words right. If someone answers back, they may not be able to tolerate. You are the past and the door will never open."

He added, "Some others say that if the father speaks more, then in the Holy Prophet. He is his first and last coach, spokesperson, mentor, and the most well-wisher and father in the world, so those who do not have or are not capable of it, please be patient.

He further encouraged cricket fans to research the critics' own records before accepting their opinions.

"It is a request to the cricket lovers who have been shouting day and night for them. Before listening to what they did in their time, look at PCB website once. A hint is enough for the rest of the wise. Pakistan Zindabad."
