Shoaib Akhtar slammed Pakistan's newest limited-overs captain Babar Azam and was upset over Azam's decisions in the recent loss against England in the second T20I.

England won the match by 5 wickets after they chased down 196 with the help of English skipper Eoin Morgan's quick fifty on Sunday. England is currently 1-0 ahead in the three-match T20I series and the first match was washed out.

"Babar Azam looks like a lost cow to me. He is out there, not knowing what to do. It is important for him to take decisions on his own so that it could help him become a better captain in the coming times," Akhtar said on his YouTube channel.

"Babar will need to understand that the chances coming his way are not going to happen for the rest of his life, so he needs to make the most out of it," he added.

Akhtar was angry over the whole Pakistan team, including the staff members. He called them messy and added they can't be a strong team with this attitude.

"Pakistan team are playing in a bio 'insecure' bubble, where each player is insecure. No one has an idea about whether they want to become a good captain or a good brand. Confused selection, confused management, confused captain, confused team, and confusion of everything. Teams are not made like this," Akhtar said.
