The Pakistan skipper said they haven&#8217;t been able to apply, follow and finish things and have to accept that they failed as a team in the end. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/sports\/t20-world-cup-2024\/story\/pakistan-vs-ireland-today-match-live-score-babar-azam-shaheen-afridi-florida-2553953-2024-06-16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>PAK vs IRE: HIGHLIGHTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sir, as I have said earlier, everyone is sad. As a team, we did not play. I told you that we did not lose this because of one person. We are losing as a team. I am not saying this because of one person. You are pointing out that because of the captain, I cannot play in every player&#8217;s place. There are 11 players and each of them has a role. That&#8217;s why they came here to play the World Cup. I think we as a team have not been able to apply, follow and finish things. We have to settle down and accept that we didn&#8217;t play well as a team,&#8221; said Babar. <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/sports\/t20-world-cup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">T20 World Cup Coverage<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/sports\/t20-world-cup\/points-table\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Points Table<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/live-score\/series\/icc-cricket-world-cup-6122-2\/#upcoming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">T20 World Cup 2024 Schedule<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/sports\/t20-world-cup\/player-stats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Player Stats<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Will give my feedback<\/h3>\n<p>Famously, after losing to India, PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi said that Pakistan cricket needs a surgery. Babar was asked about this and he once again reiterated that they didn&#8217;t do well as a team and he would head back and give his feedback to the board. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As you said earlier, we have played the Asia Cup final, the World Cup final, and the semi-final as well. But we were not able to finish. But we should also see that we have achieved those things. Unfortunately, we didn&#8217;t achieve it this time. We didn&#8217;t qualify. We accept it as a team. We are not saying that we don&#8217;t accept it. I as a captain and as a team accept that we didn&#8217;t play the same cricket. We couldn&#8217;t perform the same way. The expectations that we had made of the team, the way our senior players were, we didn&#8217;t execute. We couldn&#8217;t deliver at different times. So, we accept that as a player and as a captain, I don&#8217;t want to blame anyone. I don&#8217;t want to point out that it&#8217;s their fault. It&#8217;s the fault of all the 15 players. We could not play like that. I am sad about it. We will sit and talk about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And second &#8211; We will go and sit and discuss with them. I will give my feedback \u2013 that is my responsibility as a captain to him and will see what will happen,&#8221; said Babar. <\/p>\n<p>Pakistan finished third in Group A with the win against Ireland. <\/p>\n<div class=\"authors__container\">\n<div class=\"published__on\">\n<p>Published On: <\/p>\n<p>Jun 17, 2024<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/3I40Wy2Zv3Y9PoCxoxsZI6?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/sports\/t20-world-cup-2024\/story\/pakistan-vs-ireland-babar-azam-press-conference-florida-2554035-2024-06-17?utm_source=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Pakistan skipper Babar Azam claimed that the players failed as a team and that&#8217;s the reason behind their flop show in the T20 World Cup.
