Pakistan Exits T20 World Cup 2024 Amid Criticism of Babar Azam; USA Advances to Super 8

Pakistan's cricket team faced heavy criticism following their early exit from the 2024 T20 World Cup. Skipper Babar Azam has been particularly scrutinized for his underwhelming performance, with former cricketers and fans questioning his batting approach and captaincy. Babar admitted that the team failed collectively and not due to any single individual. All-rounder Imad Wasim emphasized the need for drastic changes within the team, especially regarding their mindset and playing style. Despite the criticism, Babar remains committed to discussing his future with PCB officials. The team's elimination was confirmed after the USA vs. Ireland match was abandoned due to rain, rendering Pakistan's final group match insignificant.
