Faheem Ashraf fought well, but a pathetic show by top Pakistan orders.
I said it before and once more – there is no replacement for King Babar Azam.
Put je aside and think about Pakistani cricket. Not to drop him, but to train the young people under him. #pak #babarazam– Alirazaansaari July 22, 2025
For years, Babar Azam saved this team from constant humiliation. And what did they do in return? Blaming him on everything and kicking him out.
Now look at this team without him – totally exposed and worthless! #banvpak pic.twitter.com/f3nly4jtbi

Faheem Ashraf fought the lost battle
Imagine that only two batters who used Braincells showed that Faheem needed a basic sense of applying himself on this pitch, Bangladeshi bowlers would have given you on and off with pitching delivery #pakvban | #pakistancricket– Thunderยฎ (@Ghauriaya) July 22, 2025
