Pakistan player Azam Khan has made a shocking revelation about one of the cricketers in the Pakistan team. He has also revealed that a player leaks dressing room tactics and playing XIs to the media.
Pakistan have been facing some serious trouble with their team management, as they have had several controversies over team selections. However, Babar Azam, the veteran batter, has finally made a return to all formats of the game.
The PCB has now announced three different skippers across all formats of the game. Salman Agha leads them in the shortest format of the game, Shaheen Afridi leads them in the ODI format, and lastly, Shan Masood leads them in the longest format of the game.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Azam Khan has made a shocking claim that there are players within the Pakistan team who reveal internal information to the media, and he has claimed this to be a form of corruption. He also claimed that central contracts should be cancelled for such players.
“Some say other things; there is a fakhta bird or whatever, this or that. I mean, this is an issue with our players as well, that their friendships with the journalists often take a drastic turn. I am also friends with journalists, which is not an issue, but I mean, if I am not sincere with my work and if I am leaking all the news, then I think I am also a traitor to my country, which he referred to as ‘desh drohi’,” said Azam Khan in an interaction with Cricwick.
“You should be on good terms with the journalists, but it shouldn’t happen that you are telling them who is paying or etc. That’s like a breach of the anti-corruption. You can’t tell anyone about the changes in the playing XI or what happens inside the dressing room,” he added.
Azam Khan revealed a lack of unity within the Pakistan dressing room
The Pakistani cricketer Azam Khan has revealed a lack of unity within the Pakistan Cricket team. The players have not been found to be involved with each other like the players from several other member nations.
Khan has revealed that Mike Hesson, the head coach, and the senior players within the Pakistan team have disagreed over several decisions, which have led to a feud within the team. Several other players within the squad have also revealed the same.
Azam Khan said there’s a player in the Pakistani team who’s a friend of Fakhta and leaked dressing room new & playing XI to him.That player’s central contract should be cancelled & he should face corruption charges.
He also said there’s zero unity in the team. #AzamKhan pic.twitter.com/G6xjoasAoq
