Pakistan batting legend Younis Khan said there is no denying the fact that captain Babar Azam is a “champion player”.
Azam has led by example with the bat on numerous occasions across all three formats, which has established his reputation as one of the elite batsmen in the sport.
In the recent two-Test series against Sri Lanka, he made 271 runs, which included a century and two fifties, at an average of 67.75.
“Babar is a champion player, and it feels good if the champion player serves the country and his family,” Younis was quoted as saying by Cricwick.
Pakistan will now take on the Netherlands in a three-match ODI series that will be held in Rotterdam from August 16 to 21.
They will then feature in the Asia Cup, which will be played in the UAE from August 27 to September 11.
