Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur firmly believes that Babar Azam is the best batsman in the national team right now.
Azam has been in superb form lately as during the tour of South Africa, as accumulated 221 runs, which included two half-centuries, in the Test series at an average of 36.83.
He also amassed 195 runs, which included a lone fifty, in the ODI series at an average of 48.75, and 151 runs, which included a half-century, at an average of 50.33 in the Twenty20 series.
Azam’s red-hot form continued in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), where he was the sixth-highest scorer with 335 runs, which included three fifties, in 11 games for the Karachi Kings at an average of 30.45.
Going into the World Cup, the 24-year-old has scored 2,462 runs in 59 ODIs, which includes eight centuries and 10 half-centuries, at an average of 51.29.
