Shadab Khan said people criticising Pakistan captain Babar Azam are doing such an injustice to him as he is “such a big diamond” and a blessing to the national team.
Azam has been Pakistan’s most consistent run-scorer for the past few years and he regularly leads by example with the bat.
In fact, he recently made 276 runs in the five-match ODI series against New Zealand, which included a hundred and two half-centuries, at an average of 55.20.
His contributions helped the men in green win the series 4-1 and end their disappointing run of results.
“I think we are doing injustice with such a diamond. Pakistan has been blessed with such a big diamond,” Shadab was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
The 24-year-old also featured in the ODI series against New Zealand and took three wickets in three matches at an average of 56.
