Amidst controversy related to feud with head coach Gary Kirsten, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is now accused of misbehaving with former Pakistan batting coach Adam Hollioake. While there have been accusations and nothing is confirmed as of now, Pakistan's senior journalist Saleem Khaliq claims that Babar misbehaved with the former coach. However, Faizan Lakhani, another journalist, cleared up the fact that it wasn't a case of misbehaviour. 

"I don't think it was a case of misbehaviour. What I have heard from sources is that Adam Hollioake, as a batting coach, wanted to work with Babar Azam to correct some of his mistakes. However, Babar wasn't willing and insisted that he was doing everything right," tweeted Faizan Lakhani. 

Well, this isn't the first time Babar has been accused of misbehaving with his teammates and the coaching staff. Recently, Gary Kirsten complained about the skipper's wrong behaviour towards the coaching staff. If this issue persists, Babar will have to face action from the PCB. 

Don't just blame the other two and mark the third one as a hero: Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali blames the PCB for favouring Babar Azam more than other players and giving him an upper edge in every matter. While there have been groups in the team, the Board is taking action against players like Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi, which is wrong on all levels.

"The report is being prepared against Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan that they have formed a separate group, which is wrong. Don't put your blame on the others. Otherwise, Pakistan cricket will be destroyed. If you think that Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi, and Babar Azam are not on the same pitch, then you remove them altogether. Don't just blame the other two and mark the third one as a hero. It will be wrong," said Basit Ali as quoted by Cricket Pakistan.
