Babar Azam selected friends in team, disregarded merit: Shahzad
Pakistan cricketer Ahmad Shahzad said that after becoming captain of the Pakistan team, Babar Azam disregarded merit and selected friends in the team. "When you favour friends over deserving players, the wheels of domestic cricket stop turning, as genuine performers don’t get enough chances," Shahzad added. "It was a mistake to make a performer the captain," he stated.
