Inzamam-ul-Haq has come down hard on Bangladesh cricket for not improving competition among their team against Pakistan

Inzamam-ul-Haq, a Pakistani cricket legend, has slammed Bangladesh cricket for failing to improve competition among their players. The 51-year-old believes that the club still relies on familiar faces from previous seasons, with no newcomers to the fold.

Following Pakistan’s 3-0 thrashing of Bangladesh on Monday, he made the statement. The Babar Azam-led team won the series after a nail-biting third T20I triumph in Dhaka. Pakistan’s whitewash over Bangladesh was ensured by Mohammad Nawaz’s boundary on the final ball of the game.

According to the former Pakistani captain, Bangladesh should improve its playing conditions and pitches as a host nation. Inzamam also chastised the fact that the squad has relied on the same core of three or four players for the past eight years or so.

“If I talk about Bangladesh’s perspective, I feel that they still have those 3-4 set of players who have been playing and contributing to the team since past 6-7 years. They (Bangladesh) haven’t improved their conditions, pitches and not even the competition in the side. I feel that the new players have stopped surfacing into their side.” Inzamam-ul-Haq said

“They have the same faces contributing to them, and a few of them weren’t even playing in this series (referring to the absence of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim). I think Bangladesh should ponder over this situation and look to improve their cricket,” Inzamam added.

Babar Azam

Babar Azam has added another achievement to his resume after winning all three T20Is against Bangladesh. This year, he won his 17th T20I. The 27-year-old has tied Sarfaraz Ahmed for the most T20Is won as a captain in a calendar year.

“Today Babar Azam equalled Sarfaraz Ahmed’s record of winning 17 T20I matches in one calendar year as a captain. We aren’t rating Babar Azam that highly for his captaincy, though he was sending good signs during the World Cup. And his triumphs is showing that he is continuously improving as a skipper. If he wins one more T20I, he’ll be the best Pakistani T20i skipper to win most matches in a year.” He said

However, after considering the situation, the Pakistani legend also stated that Babar Azam must raise heavy silverware. He believes that this is critical in order to gain international recognition as a skipper. Inzamam noted parallels between Azam and Pakistan’s 2017 Champions Trophy winner, Sarfaraz Ahmed.
