Pakistan batting coach Adam Hollioake sees great potential in wicketkeeper-batsman Azam Khan, saying he can be a “destructive” player.
Azam has enjoyed plenty of success in domestic cricket and it was hit impressive performances that earned him a recall to the national team for the recent five-match T20I series against New Zealand.
However, the 25-year-old son of former Pakistan captain Moin Khan failed to deliver in the three games he played as he made scores of 10, 2 and 10.
Despite this, Hollioake believes Azam is a talent worth keeping an eye on as he has what it takes to become a dominant power-hitter.
“Azam Khan is a destructive batsman,” he was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
Azam is now playing for Islamabad United in the 2024 Pakistan Super League (PSL), which began on February 17.
Islamabad United Squad for PSL 9:Â Shadab Khan (captain), Naseem Shah, Jordan Cox, Imad Wasim, Azam Khan, Tymal Mills, Faheem Ashraf, Alex Hales, Colin Munro, Rumman Raees, Matthew Forde, Salman Ali Agha, Qasim Akram, Shahab Khan, Hunain Shah, Ubaid Shah, Shamyl Hussain, Obed McCoy, Haider Ali, Muhammad Waseem
