Babar Azam Dropped As Pakistan Ring Changes For Do-Or-Die T20 World Cup Clash vs Sri Lanka. Internet Reacts

In a surprising move ahead of a crucial T20 World Cup match against Sri Lanka, Pakistan's cricket team has made significant changes to its lineup, dropping captain Babar Azam, opener Saim Ayub, and pacer Salman Mirza. This decision comes as Pakistan faces a do-or-die situation in the tournament, necessitating a shift in strategy to revive their campaign. Babar, who has been a key player for Pakistan, has faced criticism for his recent form, leading selectors to opt for fresh talent in a bid to enhance the team's performance. The shake-up has sparked widespread reactions from fans and cricket analysts alike, with many questioning the implications of leaving out a player of Babar's stature. As Pakistan prepares for the pivotal clash, the team’s management will be hoping that the new selections can provide the necessary spark to turn their fortunes around in the tournament, following a series of underwhelming performances. The match against Sri Lanka is set to be a critical test for the revamped squad, and all eyes will be on how the changes influence their chances of making it through to the next stages of the World Cup.
