Azam is currently captaining Pakistan in the T20 World Cup, where the men in green have a perfect record thus far.

The win was a historic one as it marked Pakistan’s first World Cup win over their arch-rivals.
The 27-year-old only made nine runs against New Zealand on Tuesday, but his side still won by five wickets.
