Former Indian batter Wasim Jaffer reckoned that a batter of Babar Azam’s class and caliber can’t be kept quiet for long. In the ongoing Asia Cup 2022, Babar has scored only 19 runs at an average of 9.50 with a top score of 10 against India in Pakistan’s Group A match on August 28.
“Babar Azam is at such a stage of his career that his name is included when we speak of the top 4 or 5 cricket in grades in the world,” Jaffer was quoted as saying in CricTracker.
“And at the moment Pakistan’s batting revolves around Babar Azam. So yes, if a player like Babar Azam is dismissed for low scores consecutively, then there is a sense of concern. But he is a quality player and we will surely get to see him in form during the Super Four stage,” he stated.
“A player like Babar Azam cannot be kept out of the game for a long time because he is currently ruling across all formats,” Jaffer added.
