The veteran pointed out that if Babar was under pressure, he wouldn’t have been scoring runs across formats consistently. He reckons that the 28-year-old will only learn and get better as captain with time. Speaking to Sports Paktv, Inzamam-ul-Haq said:
The statement came even as Babar Azam and Co. failed to win a single Test against England and New Zealand. Pakistan also recently lost the ODI series 1-2 against the Blackcaps at home.
Babar amassed 149 runs in three ODIs against the Kiwis, including two half-centuries. The right-handed batter scored 574 runs in his last five Tests, including two hundreds and three half-centuries.
“When it comes to performance, Babar Azam leads from the front” – Inzamam-ul-Haq
Inzamam-ul-Haq pointed out that Babar emerged as Pakistan’s highest run-getter in the three-match Test series against England, where the hosts lost 0-3. He added that Babar should be given enough time to get to his full potential as a leader ahead of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 in India.
Babar Azam will next be seen leading Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023. Meanwhile, Pakistan will next play five T20Is and as many ODIs against New Zealand at home in April and May.
