PCB seniors ignoring Babar Azam, Rashid Latif claims

Rashid Latif, the former wicketkeeper of the Pakistan team, has claimed that seniors in Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have begun to ignore the national team captain Babar Azam.

Yesterday, South Africa defeated Pakistan by one wicket after a sensational match, marking Pakistan’s fourth consecutive defeat in the World Cup.

The national players and Babar Azam are facing severe criticism.

Speaking on a TV show, the former wicketkeeper claimed that Babar Azam has been sending messages to the Chairman PCB Management Committee, the Chief Operating Officer, and the Director of International Cricket for two consecutive days, but the three big men of the Cricket Board have refused to answer.

سابق کرکٹر راشد لطیف صاحب نے حیرت انگیز انکشاف کیا ہے کہ جناب پروفیشنل چئیرمین پی سی بی مینجمنٹ کمیٹی ذکاء اشرف صاحب قومی ٹیم کے کپتان بابر اعظم کے میسجز اور کالز کا جواب نہیں دے رہے.. کپتان نے عثمان واہلہ سلمان نصیر سے بھی رابطہ کیا انہوں نے بھی کوئی جواب نہیں دیا…
اور اب ذکاء… pic.twitter.com/QBgDnO14HS

Rashid Latif claimed that Zaka Ashraf, Salman Naseer, and Usman Wahla were constantly ignoring the messages sent by Babar Azam.

According to the former Test cricketer, the PCB has told the players that the central contract they have signed will not be accepted and the players will have to sign a new central contract.
