Legendary Pakistan batsman Younis Khan acknowledged that captain Babar Azam has been in superb form for quite some time.
In the team’s recent two-Test series against Sri Lanka, which ended as a 1-1 draw, Azam led from the front as he was Pakistan’s highest run-scorer.
The 27-year-old scored 271 runs, which included a century and two fifties, at an average of 67.75.
“Babar Azam is in good form at the moment,” Younis was quoted as saying by Cricwick.
Pakistan will now play a three-match ODI series against the Netherlands, which will be held in Rotterdam from August 16 to 21.
They will then travel to the UAE for the Asia Cup, which will be played from August 27 to September 11.
