‘These Coaches Are Poison’: Mohammad Yousuf Blasts Babar Azam’s Coaches After England Wicket

Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Yousuf has taken a strong stance against the coaches of Babar Azam and other Pakistan players, accusing them of being a significant factor in the team's declining performance. This criticism comes in the wake of Pakistan's recent Test series defeat against England, where they lost the first Test by an innings and were set a challenging target of 185 in the second Test after being dismissed for just 110 runs in London.

Yousuf claimed that technical issues within the team could have been addressed years ago but were overlooked by some so-called coaches. His primary target was Babar Azam, who scored a mere eight runs in the second Test, a batting display that Yousuf believes could have been improved with better guidance from the coaches. "These coaches are poison for the game," Yousuf tweeted, alleging that they lack vision, obstruct progress, and misguide even the most talented players.

He warned that if Pakistan cricketers do not learn to discern who to listen to, their careers may end prematurely. Yousuf further highlighted the team's technical problems against international bowling attacks, stating that issues previously corrected could now be seen as major setbacks. His comments are expected to reignite discussions about Pakistan's coaching system and the need for better technical development among its players.
