Former England captain Nasser Hussain has admitted that he wants to see Pakistan limited overs Babar Azam play in this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL).
No Pakistan players are allowed to feature in the IPL, but Hussain thinks that this is a big mistake as the tournament pits the best players from all over the world against each other.
Given how well Azam has done, Hussain said the 25-year-old is a “phenomenal player and he should be there”.
“It’s the Pakistani players not being in the IPL. The IPL will start soon and Babar Azam won’t be there. He’s a phenomenal player and he should be there,” Hussain was quoted as saying by Geo Super.
This year’s IPL will be held in the UAE from September 19 to November 10.
