Azam Khan average is 3.80 in 7 matches now haha. He really needs to be replaced. Plus he really needs to work on his fitness as well.
Yeah, keep sending him in at 6 when he's a 4/5, then drop him after two matches with the fitness excuse, then when he outperforms every middle order batter in T20s, bring him back in the national team, only to repeat the same process.

The same excuse was given for SKY in ODIs at the start and… we all know how that ended.

You don’t get a lot of opportunities in international cricket generally and failing to make use of them will result in you being dropped inevitably whether it is fair or not; see Mulder for SA.

Agree, should have performed today. However, sending Iftikhar ahead of him when a leggie is bowling is just braindead by Hafeez and Shaheen

To be fair, Ifti has been dismissed by a wrist spinner once in 153 balls in T20i. Azam Khan has been out three times in nine balls.
Small sample size in internationals, their T20 stats paint a clear picture
