Former Pakistan batsman Salman Butt has asked who will stand up and support captain Babar Azam.
Azam has repeatedly put up strong performances with the bat and is one of the most consistent players in the sport right now.
However, Salman noted that in order for Pakistan to benefit from Azam’s efforts with the bat, other batsmen need to make their presence felt.
“Babar Azam doesn’t have the support around him, which can convert his performances into match-winning ones,” he said on his YouTube channel as quoted by Cricket Pakistan.
In the ongoing tour of the West Indies, Azam made 51 runs in the one inning he batted during the four-match T20 series.
As for the first Test, which the West Indies won by one wicket, he made scores of 30 and 55.
