Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi on Thursday thrown his full support behind under-fire captain Babar Azam, urging the nation to rally behind the team and avoid criticism for the next four weeks.
Addressing the media in London, Naqvi expressed unwavering confidence in Babar's leadership, saying, "Babar Azam alone is the biggest, and it's time to support the team." He emphasized that this is a crucial period for the team, and criticism would only hinder their progress.
Naqvi's comments come at a time when the team is gearing up for the World Cup, with many fans and experts questioning their chances. However, the PCB chief remains optimistic, saying, "If the nation supports, this team will win the World Cup."
Regarding the much-anticipated Pakistan-India match in the World Cup, Naqvi clarified that the travel plans for the team's visit to India have not been finalized yet.
In a message to the players, Naqvi said, "The boys have been asked to play without fear, as victory is in the hands of Allah." This statement echoes the sentiment of many Pakistani fans, who believe that the team's fate is in the hands of a higher power.
By throwing his weight behind Babar and the team, Naqvi has sent a clear message: it's time for the nation to unite and support their cricket team in their pursuit of World Cup glory."
