Legendary Pakistan pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar said Babar Azam now has a big responsibility on his shoulders.
Akhtar’s comments come after Azam was named Pakistan’s Test captain on Tuesday.
Azam succeeded Azhar Ali as Test skipper and now leads Pakistan across all three formats of the game.
Congratulations Pakistan for a 3-0 win.

“Congratulations Pakistan for a 3-0 win. Also congratulations and good luck to Babar Azam for becoming captain across formats. Big responsibility,” Akhtar said on Twitter.
Azam’s first assignment as Test captain will be the upcoming tour of New Zealand, where Pakistan will play two Tests from December 26 to January 7.
Prior to the Test series, the men in green will also play three T20 Internationals against the Black Caps from December 18 to 22.
