Islamabad- Former Pakistan player Shuaib Akhtar said that Pakistan captain Babar Azam is still unable to become a brand because he does not know how to handle the English language well. Playing cricket and handling the media are important things. If Babar cannot speak, he cannot express himself – Akhtar told a Pakistani channel.
“You will understand that the players in the Pakistan team do not know how to talk. The players talking at the end of the matches is very annoying. Is learning and speaking English that difficult? “Cricket is one task, managing the media is another,” said Akhtar.
“If you can’t speak in front of the media, you can’t present your position. I will say frankly that Babar Azam should be the biggest brand in Pakistan. But why doesn’t that happen? Because he still doesn’t know how to speak straight. Can any other Pakistani cricketer speak better?”
“Why are Shahid Afridi and Wasim Akram getting all the advertisements? Because we take it as a job.” – Akhtar claimed. This is not the first time that Babar Azam has been criticized for not being able to speak English. During a press conference in 2020, Babar Azam responded that he is trying to improve his English language. Babar stated his position in response to the question of media workers.
