After a disappointing T20 World Cup 2026 campaign, where Pakistan crashed out in the Super 8 stage, the PCB selectors made one of the biggest names in Pakistan cricket their scapegoat.

The selectors have now decided to move in a completely new direction. The PCB has picked six new players, including Abdul Samad, Maaz Sadaqat, Muhammad Ghazi Ghori, Saad Masood, Sahibzada Farhan, and Shamyl Hussain, for the upcoming Bangladesh tour.
'Mind-boggling decision’: Mohammad Yousuf slams Mohsin Naqvi
Former Pakistan captain and coach Mohammad Yousuf slammed Naqvi and the selectors' call. He feels that dropping Babar at this stage does not make sense and questions the thinking behind such a big call.
#BabarAzam’s inclusion in the #T20WorldCup was surprising, but his exclusion now, if it’s not simply a case of being rested is mind boggling. Who is making these senseless decisions.
— Mohammad Yousaf (@yousaf1788) March 4, 2026The former Pakistani star also pointed out that if Pakistan is already planning for the 2027 World Cup, then the board should clearly say so instead of creating confusion.
Mohammad Amir said on the Geo News show Haarna Mana Hai, “You dropped Babar, or you rested him. So which ODI matches or tournaments will he play to make his comeback to the team? That is my question. If the plan is that these new players will play because there are eight months left for the 2027 ODI World Cup, then this should be told clearly. If they fail in these two series after Babar has been dropped, will they still be part of the team when the World Cup is happening? The situation needs proper clarity.”
Ahmed Shehzad slams Babar Azam’s axing, demands answers from PCB
Ahmed Shehzad said during the same discussion, “Babar Azam’s fans are all over the world. They need clarity. Before taking this decision, did they give him that clarity? Okay, he didn’t perform well. Then tell the public clearly that these were the reasons because of which Pakistan suffered, and he had a major role in it. If the board wants to take such action across all formats, they should say it openly. Otherwise, he does not deserve this treatment.”
