Pakistan National Cricket Team lost 3-0 against the Three Lions in the recently concluded Test series. They had no answer to their bowling as they could not even bat for 100 overs across two innings in the first Test. They provided a tough fight in the third match but lost the match, which raised multiple questions over their Test form.
? Wasim Akram on Babar Azam captaincy:“I don’t want to blame anyone,I think Babar should never have taken the captaincy.After 2nd Test Babar should have said he would play only as a player. If your leader or captain doesn’t have your back, you can’t give 100%.” pic.twitter.com/NEefW2ZTgg

While speaking on Pakistan’s mass change in between the series, where seven players were sent back home and the coaching staff was sacked, Wasim questioned the role of the captain after Babar’s comments during the pre-match press conference, where the Test captain said that he did not know about the sudden fiasco that happened and was even surprised by the same.
Further speaking on the same event, Wasim Akram stated that if the captain does not back his player, it is impossible for the players to give their 100% on the field. He believes that Babar should have stepped down from the captaincy following the 194-run loss in the second Test match and continued as a player.
Pakistan's recent form
The Men in Green are at the bottom of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-2027 table. They are in 9th place on the WTC table, with a dismal Points Percentage (PCT) of 4.63%. They have also lost 16 out of the 21 Test matches and have just won one Test match away from home in three years.
They have already been knocked out of the WTC cycle and are expected to finish at the bottom of the table for the second consecutive time. It has been dark days for the Men in Green in terms of the traditional format, where they have been very poor in recent times, even losing to Bangladesh at home.
