Azam has been subjected to trolling on social media. Due to his bulky frame and lack of match-winning performances, the Pakistan gloveman is facing the wrath of fans. “He is under immense pressure. He is being body shamed, is being trolled,” former Pakistan captain Rashid told The Indian Express. “Azam is an exceptional batsman in T20s. He is a clean hitter, plays spinners well, has worked on his game against the pacers. But I will not rate him as a keeper. It is nothing to do with his fitness, but because he doesn’t have that experience. He is still very new and raw to international level,” Rashid added.
