‘Not your job to reply…’: Ex-Pakistan star SLAMS Babar Azam’s father for recent social media post
Akmal blasts Babar's father for social media post
Pakistan star batter Babar Azam was recently not given a place in the Men in Green’s T20I squad for the upcoming 5-match series against New Zealand. This move ended up raising many eyebrows and also triggered heated debates on social media.
Even Babar’s father Azam Siddique took to social media to share his views on his son’s omission from the shortest format. He also fired a warning to the legendary cricketers of the country who have been criticizing his son for his poor batting performances.
“The boss is always right. Despite being part of the ICC’s T20 Team of the Year, he was dropped. It’s fine; he will perform in the National T20 and PSL. Insha Allah, he will make a comeback. That’s the only respectable. 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,” Siddique wrote on social media.
“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 and 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,” Siddique added.
Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Kamran Akmal expressed shock at the post from Babar’s father and even labelled the post as ‘insulting’. Akmal added that when he went through a bad phase, he told his brothers and father to not reply on the matter.
“The family should not comment on PCB’s policies. Whether it is the family or any other player, you should not comment on PCB’s policies. It’s an insult to the PCB and he shouldn’t be posting such stuff,” Akmal said on ARY News.
“I also went through a very bad time but I had told my father and my brothers that it is not your job to reply, speak and post, you should mind your own business, this is my matter. PCB understands it better, whatever decision they took for me. In my opinion, this is the policy that every player’s family will have to follow,” Akmal added.
