Salman Butt has come to the defense of Babar Azam, after Shoaib Akhtar mocked the batters English skills

Former captain slams Shoaib Akhtar's criticism of Babar's language proficiency and emphasizes the significance of performance over language abilities in sports.

Former Pakistan cricket team captain, Salman Butt, has come to the defense of Babar Azam, who was recently criticized by former cricketer, Shoaib Akhtar, for his English speaking skills. Butt took to his YouTube channel to roast Akhtar and highlight the fact that being fluent in a certain language shouldn’t be considered a weakness.

Butt firmly believes that performances are more important than language proficiency, and that Babar’s inability to speak English fluently should not be a matter of concern. He pointed out that many sports stars prefer to speak in their own language and have others translate for them, and that it’s important to take pride in one’s mother tongue.

Butt also responded to Akhtar’s comment that Babar is not a big brand due to his poor English. He highlighted that Babar is already associated with many commercials in Pakistan, and is a brand himself.

Babar Azam

Overall, Butt’s message is clear – Babar’s skills on the cricket field are what matter most, and language proficiency should not be a barrier to success or be used to belittle someone. His defense of Babar Azam is a reminder that being multilingual is a skill to be celebrated, not a weakness.
