As the much-anticipated Pakistan vs. India T20 World Cup 2024 match draws near, Pakistan’s team management has made a notable decision: Azam Khan will not be part of the playing XI. The match is scheduled at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in Long Island, New York, starting at 7:30 PM PKT.
Sources reveal that Azam Khan missed the latest batting practice session, which led to the head coach expressing dissatisfaction with his current form. This follows his disappointing performance in the recent match against the USA, prompting the decision to replace him for the upcoming game against India.
Imad Wasim is expected to take Azam Khan’s place in the lineup for the India match. Azam, a wicketkeeper-batsman, has faced significant scrutiny from fans after his underwhelming performance in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 game against the USA. His difficulties on the field were compounded by an altercation with spectators at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas following the match.
As the son of former Pakistan cricket captain Moin Khan, Azam often deals with criticism on social media, especially regarding his fitness levels. His recent struggles have only heightened this scrutiny.
Pakistan’s decision to drop Azam Khan is part of an effort to strengthen the team ahead of their critical match against arch-rivals India. With Imad Wasim potentially joining the squad, the team aims to improve performance and address weaknesses exposed in previous games.
As game day approaches, fans and analysts will be closely watching to see how these lineup changes impact Pakistan’s chances against India in this crucial T20 World Cup match. The team management hopes these adjustments will lead to a much-needed victory and further progress in the tournament.
