Cheteshwar Pujara Urges Clear Communication on Babar Azam's Future After T20 World Cup Exit

Following Pakistan's exit from the T20 World Cup 2026, former Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara called for clear communication between the Pakistan Cricket Board and Babar Azam regarding his future. Despite Babar's modest tournament performance—91 runs in six matches at a 22.75 average—Pujara emphasized that the team's overall failure, especially in the middle order, should be addressed rather than placing sole blame on the batsman. Pujara also praised Fakhar Zaman's aggressive style as a positive model for Pakistan's T20 approach.
