Wasim Akram said Babar should play in leagues, score runs, earn money, and go home, and then prepare for the next event.
NEW DELHI: The head coach of the Indian cricket team, Gautam Gambhir, has heaped praise on Pakistan’s white-ball captain, Babar Azam.
In an online program conversation with former captain Wasim Akram, Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir also offered some advice to Babar Azam.
He said that Babar Azam doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone; he has the quality to become the kind of batsman Pakistan has never seen before.
The former Indian cricketer added that Babar Azam doesn’t need to captain in league cricket; winning the PSL won’t bring him anything.
On the other hand, the Sultan of Swing, Wasim Akram, told Gambhir that a few years ago, he advised Babar not to captain in league cricket.
Wasim Akram said Babar should play in leagues, score runs, earn money, and go home, and then prepare for the next event. Captaining in league cricket brings unnecessary extra stress.
