As the highly anticipated Pakistan vs. India T20 World Cup 2024 match approaches, Pakistan’s team management has made the significant decision to drop Azam Khan from the playing XI. The match is set to take place at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in Long Island, New York, with a start time of 7:30 PM PKT.
According to sources, Azam Khan did not participate in the latest batting practice session. The head coach expressed dissatisfaction with Azam’s current form, especially after his poor performance in the recent match against the USA. This has led to the decision to replace him for the upcoming clash with India.
Imad Wasim is likely to take Azam Khan’s spot in the team for the match against India. Azam Khan, a wicketkeeper-batsman, has been under significant scrutiny from fans following his disappointing performance in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 game against the USA. The criticism of his play was compounded by an altercation with spectators at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas after the match.
Azam Khan, who is the son of former Pakistan cricket team captain Moin Khan, often faces criticism on social media, particularly concerning his fitness levels. His recent struggles on the field have only intensified this scrutiny.
The decision to drop Azam Khan comes as Pakistan looks to strengthen its lineup ahead of the crucial match against their arch-rivals, India. With Imad Wasim’s potential inclusion, the team aims to enhance its performance and address any weaknesses exposed in the previous matches.
As the game day nears, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the changes in the lineup affect Pakistan’s chances against India in this pivotal T20 World Cup encounter. The team’s management hopes that these adjustments will help them secure a much-needed victory and advance further in the tournament.
