Pakistan cricket team batter Babar Azam’s miserable form continues as he was dismissed cheaply once again in PAK vs BAN 2nd Test. The former skipper’s last century came against Nepal and has been quite miserable with the bat since then. Azam’s teammate Salman Ali Agha defended the batter and claimed that it won’t be too long before Babar starts to score runs again.
Out of form Babar Azam gets teammate’s backing
Speaking at a press conference after the day’s play, Pakistan’s Agha claimed that there were 10 others in the team apart from Babar Azam who could have performed. He added that the focus should not be only on one player. It is pertinent to note that Azam is yet to score a century in the current World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.
“Babar Azam is a world-class player. As a cricketer, you go through these phases. He has scored consistently throughout the last five years. Soon, we will see him scoring big runs for Pakistan again,” Agha said.
