Babar Azam Dropped For Scoring Too Slowly, Says Pakistan Coach Mike Hesson

By AFP News February 21, 2026 • 08:51 AM View: 350

Batting great Babar Azam was dropped for Pakistan's final T20 World Cup group game against Namibia for scoring too slowly, said head coach Mike Hesson on Friday.

Azam, who is the highest run-scorer in T20 international history with 4,571 runs, was left out for the must-win game against Namibia as Pakistan racked up 199-3 and secured a place in the Super Eights by 102 runs.
