‘Absolutely Stupid Decision’, Michael Vaughan Reacts to Pakistan Dropping Babar Azam – Startup Pakistan

Pakistan Cricket has announced that star batter Babar Azam will not be part of the upcoming Test match against England. This decision comes after Pakistan’s loss in the first Test in Multan, where Babar’s performance did not meet expectations.

The move has ignited widespread debate among cricket fans and experts alike. Many are questioning the rationale behind dropping one of Pakistan’s most talented players at such a critical moment in the series. Among the critics is former England cricketer Michael Vaughan, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice his disapproval. Vaughan labeled the decision as “stupid” unless it was Babar himself who requested a break from the team.

Babar Azam has long been a key player for Pakistan, known for his consistent performance and leadership on the field. His exclusion from the next Test has left many puzzled, as the team looks to bounce back and level the series. While the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has not provided further details, the decision has certainly added pressure to the team as they prepare for the second Test against a formidable England side.
