Pakistan cricket star Babar Azam has finally breaks silence on the recent controversy involving comments about the Pakistan Super League (PSL). His response comes after remarks by former captain Mohammad Hafeez sparked debate among fans and experts.
According to reports, Hafeez criticized PSL players during a broadcast of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. He described many players as “advertising superstars” and suggested that the same promotional cycle repeats every year.
In response, Babar Azam breaks silence during a recent podcast appearance. He said that Hafeez’s comments reflect his personal opinion. He avoided direct criticism and chose a balanced approach.
Babar explained that the PSL remains one of Pakistan’s leading cricket leagues. He said every player tries to perform well for their team. He added that franchise cricket focuses on entertainment alongside performance.
While addressing the issue, Babar Azam again breaks silence by highlighting the difference between league and international cricket.

Babar suggested that Hafeez’s statement may have been misunderstood. He noted that the original intent could be different from how people interpreted it. This difference in perception likely fueled the controversy.
