The crucial decision to drop Azam Khan from the playing XI was taken by the Pakistan team management as the Pakistan vs India T20 World Cup 2024 match approaches. The game is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM PKT at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in Long Island, New York.
According to sources, Azam Khan did not participate in the recent batting practice. The head coach expressed his displeasure with Azam’s current game, specifically citing his impressive performance in the recent game against the United States. The decision to replace him for the upcoming match against India was made as a result of this.
Imad Wasim is most likely to replace Azam Khan in the starting line-up for the game against India. Supporters have been particularly critical of wicketkeeper-batsman Azam Khan after his poor performance in the 2024 ICCT Twenty20 World Cup match against the United States. An incident with fans at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas after the game added to the criticism of his play.
Azam Khan, son of former Pakistan cricket team captain Moeen Khan, often receives negative comments on social media, especially regarding his fitness level. That scrutiny has only increased in light of his recent struggles on the field.
In an attempt to strengthen their team ahead of the crucial game against India, Pakistan decided to bench Azam Khan. The club hopes to strengthen any areas that were seen as weaknesses in previous games and the potential addition of Imad Wasim will improve the performance.
As the game day approaches, fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close eye on how the line-up changes affect Pakistan’s chances against India in this crucial T20 World Cup encounter. The team management hopes that this adjustment will help them get the much-needed victory and advance further in the tournament.
