Azam Khan
Pakistan wicket-keeper Azam Khan has either deleted or hidden all his posts on his Instagram account, sparking speculations about his reasons.
Many believe this move might be a response to the heavy criticism he has faced from fans regarding his fitness and his selection for the T20 World Cup squad.
Azam Khan has often been the target of verbal attacks due to his weight. Despite this, he has demonstrated his skills in T20 league tournaments both in Pakistan and internationally.
Known for being active on Instagram, Azam regularly shared pictures and videos on the platform. His sudden removal of all content has left fans puzzled, as he has not provided any explanation for the disappearance of his posts.
For the past few days, Azam has been under intense scrutiny, particularly following a poor performance in two T20Is against England during a recent tour that concluded a few days ago.
Pakistan lost the four-match series 2-0, with two matches washed out. The criticism over his fitness intensified, leading to widespread speculation that the backlash influenced his decision to clear his Instagram account.
During the same tour, Azam’s place in the team was publicly questioned by a journalist.
In response, teammate Fakhar Zaman defended him, explaining that captain Babar Azam and coach Gary Kirsten had selected Azam based on his strong performance in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
Azam Khan, the son of legendary wicket-keeper Moin Khan, has yet to make a significant impact in T20 internationals for Pakistan.
Since his debut in July 2021, he has played 12 innings for the national team but has managed to score only 88 runs, averaging a mere 9.7.
His struggle to establish himself in the international arena, combined with the ongoing criticism about his fitness, has created a challenging environment for the young cricketer.
The decision to remove all content from his Instagram account remains a mystery, adding another layer to the ongoing narrative surrounding his career.
Fans and analysts alike continue to speculate about his future moves and how he plans to respond to the criticism and challenges he faces both on and off the field.
