Babar Azam has rated Pakistan seamer Hasan Ali as one of the top bowlers in the world ahead of the limited overs series against Australia.
The Pakistan captain has voiced his support for Hasan following the 27-year-old’s quiet Test series, where he was restricted to two wickets in two Tests at an average of 96.
Even though Hasan wasn’t at his best, Azam is confident he will bounce back in the limited overs series, which will consist of three ODIs and a lone T20 International.
“Hasan is one of the top bowlers,” he was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
The first ODI gets underway on March 29 in Lahore.
