Babar was demoted in the batting order during the recent tournament. He started at No. 4 in the tournament. The Pakistan team management dropped him for the Super 8 match against Sri Lanka. Notably, the batter did not get a chance to bat against Namibia, as all-rounders were promoted ahead of him.
“Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman don't have a voice. How come they agreed to bat in the middle order? I just have one example. Virat Kohli was not made the captain, he said, ‘Okay bye’. Virat Kohli. He took the retirement; he should have been made the captain for the England series," Basit said.

Former wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal said that out-of-form players like Babar Azam cannot challenge the Pakistan team management. He noted that only legendary players like Younis Khan had the authority to make such demands without facing severe consequences.
"When the form is not there, no player says such things. Before the Champions Trophy, his form was not there. He had left the captaincy. Big players even agree to such things. The form is very important. When form is not there, a batter would even agree to bat at No. 8,” he added.
