Former England captain Michael Vaughan said Pakistan captain Babar Azam is “the best”.
Vaughan’s praise for Azam comes after the 27-year-old has been in sublime form over the past few months.
In the three-Test series against Australia, he scored 390 runs, which included a career-best 196, at an average of 78.
He then proceeded to amass 276 runs in three ODIs, which included two centuries and a fifty, at an average of 138.
In the one-off T20 International, he smashed 66 runs off 46 deliveries, which included six boundaries and two sixes.
Most recently, Azam participated in the three-match ODI series against the West Indies and made 181 runs, which included a century and a fifty, at an average of 60.33.
“And again… Simply outstanding Babar Azam. #TheBest,” Vaughan said on Twitter.
Azam will be in action again when Pakistan take on Sri Lanka in two Tests, which will begin on July 16 in Galle.
