Former Pakistan head coach Misbah-ul-Haq has vented his anger at limited overs captain Babar Azam for his “casual approach” and “timid [captaincy]”, saying it “looked like we left everything on God”.
His comments come after the men in green endured a horrendous campaign in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Pakistan began with back-to-back losses to the United States of America and India before bouncing back to beat Canada and Ireland.
Despite this, it was not enough for the team to secure a spot in the Super Eights.
“Very casual approach, timid [captaincy]. It looked like we left everything on God and ended up getting dominated,” Misbah said on Ten Sports as quoted by NDTV.
Azam was Pakistan’s leading run-scorer in the T20 World Cup with 122 runs in four matches at an average of 40.66 and a strike-rate of 101.66.
Pakistan Squad for 2024 T20 World Cup: Babar Azam (capt), Saim Ayub, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Fakhar Zaman, Azam Khan (wk), Usman Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Amir, Abbas Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed
