'Ghatia soch khatam karo': Mohammad Amir comes out in support of Babar Azam

Pakistan left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir has voiced support for out-of-form batter Babar Azam and gave a shut up call to critics targetting him after the latter was dropped from the squad for remaining England Tests.

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

“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).”

The pacer 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.

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.

It is to be noted that Shan Masood XI grabed a 152-run victory on Friday to break the 11-match winless streak.
