Can Pakistan Cricket Survive The Asia Cup 2025? Fans Question Captaincy And Form

Pakistan cricket is going through one of its worst phases. Fans and even former players believe the team has lost its edge. Frequent shake-ups in the squad have only made things worse.

Watching Pakistan bat in the Asia Cup has left many fans frustrated — and some even laughing. Their shot selection looks so poor that players in India’s Celebrity Cricket League seem better in comparison.

Meet Salman Ali Agha, Pakistan’s new T20 captain. In 27 international matches, he has scored just 492 runs, with an average of 24 and only 4 fifties. Fans are asking: how did someone with such stats become captain?

Pakistan’s captaincy saga continues. After Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were dropped, Salman Ali Agha was handed the role. But except for one or two players, most of the Asia Cup squad has failed to inspire confidence.

Salman’s form has been disastrous. Out for a duck against Oman and just 3 runs against India, he struggled even to defend deliveries. His misjudged reverse sweep against India summed up his poor run..

Once a mentor to stars like Babar Azam and Rizwan, Salman now risks losing his place. Only Fakhar Zaman and Haris seem capable of big shots, while even specialist batters are struggling more than all-rounders like Shaheen Afridi.

Pakistan now faces a do-or-die clash against UAE to qualify for the Asia Cup Super 4. A loss will knock them out, and given their current fragile form, fans fear the worst.
