Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam has been out of form for some time now. He was also dropped from Pakistan’s last two Test matches recently against England. Following this, Pakistan opening batsman Fakhar Zaman came out in support and questioned the Pakistan Cricket Board’s decision. Now Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood has also come to support Babar Azam. Shan Masood supported Babar Azam. Pakistan team is gearing up to perform well against Australia. The Pakistan Test captain believes that giving Babar a break will help him regain form in international cricket.
Jean Massoud said this
“I think he is one of the best batsmen in the world,” Masood told BBC Stumped radio program. I’m not saying he doesn’t have a future. He had all the qualities to become one of the greatest batsmen in Test cricket. He remains at the top of the leaderboard. Sometimes people need a break. Massoud said, “I think this break will benefit him a lot and he will be a stronger player when he comes back.” There’s nothing wrong with going out and relaxing sometimes. He has played a lot of cricket, endured a lot and he will always be one of the leading batsmen of the Pakistan team.
This series is important for Babar Azam
The ODI series against Australia is very important for Babar Azam. Babar Azam scored his last ODI century in May 2023 against New Zealand. This series will determine his place on the team. Babar Azam was also part of Pakistan’s squad for the T20 series against Australia. However, his poor form in Test cricket continued. Fans are worried that his poor form in Test cricket may not translate into ODIs and T20s. Pakistan will play its first ODI against Australia from November 4.
