Yousuf: Babar should skip Quaid Trophy for overseas coaching

Former Pakistan batter Mohammad Yousuf says Babar Azam form will recover faster with specialised coaching in England or Australia than through more domestic red-ball matches.

Mohammad Yousuf has urged the PCB to send Babar Azam to a renowned academy in England or Australia.

Babar scored 118 runs in five matches at an average of 23.60 in the recent home ODI tri-series with England and Sri Lanka.

Yousuf advised Babar, 32, to skip first-class cricket and the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy until technical issues are fixed.

He still called Babar Pakistan’s best batsman and said focused technical work can restore his best form.

Yousuf said he made a similar call about four years ago and was not heeded.
