Cricketer Slams ICC for Ranking Babar Azam Over Shubman Gill

Former Pakistan Cricketer Lashes Out

A former Pakistan cricketer has criticized the ICC for its decision to rank Babar Azam as the world's number one Test batsman ahead of India's Shubman Gill.

Questioning the Rankings

The ex-cricketer, who wished to remain anonymous, suggested that the ICC's rankings may be designed to pressure Babar rather than reflect current form.

He pointed out that Shubman Gill has been in excellent form in recent months, while Babar Azam's form has been more inconsistent.

Calls for Transparency

The former cricketer called for the ICC to be more transparent about how it compiles its rankings.

He argued that the current system is open to manipulation and does not always reflect the true strength of teams and players.

Impact on Babar Azam

The ICC's decision to rank Babar Azam as the world's number one Test batsman has put him under pressure to perform.

The former Pakistan cricketer warned that this pressure could affect Babar's form and damage his reputation.

Conclusion

The debate over the ICC's rankings is likely to continue.

However, it is clear that the current system is not without its critics.

The ICC needs to address these concerns if it wants its rankings to be respected by players and fans alike.
