Muhammad Wasim on Babar Azam not being consulted during selection π£:
"It is really strange that the captain is being kept out of the selection decisions by the committee, and it is good that Babar Azam himself clarified that he is not being taken into confidence regarding which players are being selected and which are being dropped. So, if the team fails, the captain will not be held accountable, and he will say that he wasn't even asked about players by the committee; he was just given the 15 players and the playing XI by them. It is important for the captain to be taken on board, and if he had been during the selection process, he wouldn't have made a statement like that, claiming his job is only to play the selected XI."
