Azam Siddique, father of Pakistan’s cricket star Babar Azam, has publicly defended his son as the batter faces mounting criticism over his recent form.<\/p>\n

Babar, who is enduring a tough phase in his career, has come under intense scrutiny following Pakistan\u2019s lackluster performance in the Champions Trophy.<\/p>\n

Babar\u2019s exclusion from Pakistan’s squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series against New Zealand sparked further controversy.<\/p>\n

In response, Azam Siddique took to social media to express his unwavering faith in the former captain.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that despite Babar’s place in the ICC T20I Team of the Year, his absence from the squad should not be seen as a failure, stressing that Babar would find his rhythm in the National T20 and PSL.<\/p>\n

Siddique also addressed critics, particularly former players, urging them to be more cautious with their remarks. He warned that Babar would not tolerate such criticism, especially from those who had already passed their prime.<\/p>\n

This defense follows pointed criticisms from prominent figures such as Shoaib Akhtar, who referred to Babar as a “fraud,” and Mohammad Hafeez, who questioned his ability to perform in challenging overseas conditions.<\/p>\n

Despite these challenges, Babar\u2019s father remains hopeful that the young batter will prove his doubters wrong in the upcoming series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
