Veteran Bangladesh batsman Mushfiqur Rahim on Pakistan’s Test team has praised captain Babar Azam, calling him a “world-class cricketer.” Rahim was quoted as saying so. The praise comes as Babar, who is 32, shows signs of returning to his best before Pakistan’s two-Test series against Sri Lanka.
What Rahim said
Mushfiqur Rahim on Pakistan’s batting is short but direct: Babar Azam is, in his words, a world-class cricketer. The remark is a general assessment of Babar’s ability as a batter rather than a comment on any single innings. It places him among the most highly regarded players Rahim has seen in the game, and it arrives at a time when Babar’s form is under closer watch.
Babar Azam’s form and the Sri Lanka Tests
Babar has been the backbone of Pakistan’s batting line-up for many years, but he recently went through a rough patch in which his runs dried up. He has shown signs of getting back to his best lately, and he is expected to look for big scores in the upcoming series. Test cricket, the longest format of the game, is played over several days, and this series is two Tests. Pakistan’s Test series against Sri Lanka will be played from November 9 to 21 in Rawalpindi and Lahore, and Babar will captain a 16-man squad that includes Mohammad Abbas, Salman Ali Agha and Saud Shakeel.
