Following Pakistan's recent defeat at the hands of England in the first Test match in Multan, reports have surfaced that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will make certain crucial changes in the squad for the upcoming second fixture. According to ESPNcricinfo, former captain and star batsman Babar Azam is expected to be dropped from the Test squad for the second Test match due to a prolonged slump in form. 

Babar Azam’s Decline In Form

The year 2024 has been challenging for Babar Azam, his struggles have been particularly evident in the Test format. His recent poor performance against Bangladesh saw him score just 64 runs over four innings, leading Pakistan to a series defeat as Bangladesh swept the series 2-0. 

The Pakistan team’s woes continued during the recently concluded Test against England in Multan. Babar  had a poor outing with bat and failed to capitalise on the conditions, scoring low in both innings. Pakistan subsequently suffered a crushing innings defeat, sparking criticism from fans and experts alike.

The news of Babar’s possible exclusion from the Test squad for the second match has ignited a fierce debate on social media, with fans flocking to Twitter to express their opinions. Many have supported star batsman’s pointing to his past achievements and suggesting that he is merely going through a temporary slump. 

On the other side, some fans have been quick to criticize Babar, stating that his prolonged poor form has let the team down time and again. These critics argue that, from a tactical standpoint, it makes sense for Pakistan to replace Babar with an in-form batsman who can contribute more consistently. Many have called for younger players to be given an opportunity, suggesting that Babar's current position should be re-evaluated for the sake of the team's success. 

So in this article, let's take a look at some Twitter reactions on Babar Azam
