Pakistan’s team has been eliminated from the Champions Trophy and after this defeat, news is coming that all was not well between captain Rizwan and coach Aaqib Javed. There was a dispute between the two over a player’s issue.
There has been a difference of opinion between Pakistan’s head coach Aaqib Javed and captain Mohammad Rizwan over a player. After being out of the Champions Trophy 2025, there are reports of differences in the Pakistan cricket team. According to Pakistani media reports, head coach Aaqib Javed selected a player on his own, which captain Mohammad Rizwan was not happy with. Due to this difference of opinion, the atmosphere of the Pakistan team was not right and as a result all the players did not unite as a team. It is being told that due to this the Pakistan team lost and was eliminated from the first round of the Champions Trophy.
Differences between Rizwan-Javed?
According to the report of Cricket Pakistan, Mohammad Rizwan was angry because he was not consulted before important decisions. When Mohammad Rizwan talked about giving Khushdil Shah a place in the Champions Trophy squad, Aaqib Javed went one step ahead of him and selected Faheem Ashraf on his own. The selection committee and Mohammad Rizwan were not on the same page regarding this decision. If the report is to be believed, PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi had also talked about changing the squad twice before the start of the ICC tournament but he was not heard.
Pakistan out, coach made this excuse
Pakistan team was out of the Champions Trophy after losing first to New Zealand and then to India. The big thing is that head coach Aaqib Javed made a great excuse for this. Aaqib Javed said that apart from Babar Azam, no other player in his team was more experienced, whereas the Indian team has a lot of experience. This statement of Aaqib Javed is being made fun of in Pakistan. Ahmed Shahzad and Mohammad Aamir said that Pakistani players have played 6-7 ICC tournaments and if the head coach is crying about the less experience of his team, then this is clearly an excuse. By the way, now there are reports that after the Champions Trophy is over, there may be a big change in the Pakistani management, in which Aaqib Javed’s chair will be the first to go.
