Pakistan cricket legend Zaheer Abbas has raised concerns about Babar Azam’s attitude during his recent poor form. He believes Babar might be either too proud or too shy to ask senior players for advice, which could be hindering his improvement. Abbas’s comments have caught attention as fans continue to worry about Babar’s performance.
Babar Azam’s Attitude Problem
Zaheer Abbas, one of Pakistan’s most respected former cricketers, has spoken out about Babar Azam’s recent struggles with his batting. He said that Babar might have an attitude problem because he doesn’t seem willing to ask for help from senior players.
Abbas thinks this could be because Babar either has too much pride (ego) or is too shy to discuss his problems with others. He believes that seeking advice from experienced cricketers is crucial, especially when a player is struggling. In the past, many great players, such as Younis Khan and Mohammad Azharuddin, improved their performance by learning from others.
Abbas also noticed some technical issues in Babar’s batting stance, which might be affecting his timing and causing him to get out early. He even said that if Babar continues to play poorly, he should be dropped from the team. However, the team management still supports Babar and believes he can make a strong comeback.

Form Dip Of Babar Azam
It is an open secret that Babar Azam’s form has declined significantly over time. The talented batter has struggled to make runs and quick runs most of the time. As a result, questions have been raised.
Babar Azam has seen his lowest in terms of form, according to the Tribune. In the 3 matches played as a skipper for Zalmi, Babar has scored 0, 1, and 2.
This poor run of form isn’t the only concern for the batter but also for the team. Being the leader, a lack of runs can cause severe balance issues for the team.
Interestingly, this is also the first time Babar has scored less than 3 runs in three consecutive T20 games. The lack of runs for Babar means that the team has struggled massively.
In 3 games, Zalmi has won only 1 game and lost 2, which is not a pleasant outcome at all. Their net run rate is also -1.033, which will require considerable effort to move into positive territory.
