Pakistan captain Babar Azam is facing huge pressure after a video emerged showing him struggling against Naseem Shah’s younger brother, Ubaid Shah, in the nets. This comes amidst criticism of Babar Azam’s recent form, both as captain and batter.

Babar Azam‘s leadership and batting have been under the scanner following a string of underwhelming performances. It was under his leadership that Pakistan suffered group stage exit in the last two World Cups. 

The now-viral video adds fuel to the fire. It shows Babar Azam being struck on the body while attempting a pull shot against Ubaid Shah, the young fast-bowling sensation. This footage is likely to further intensify the debate surrounding his form and fitness to lead the team.
