Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja said he can see white-ball skipper Babar Azam has a “worrisome look” on his face when he is playing for the country.
Azam is under increasing pressure to start performing as his consistency hasn’t been anywhere near its usual best as of late.
Ramiz pointed out it is apparent that the 29-year-old “is trying hard” to shake off the cobwebs and start making big scores once again.
“You start worrying and that worrisome look is evident on Babar’s face. He is trying hard, so frustration will be there. What’s important is how he is batting,” he said on his YouTube channel as quoted by NDTV.
Azam’s most recent assignment was Pakistan’s two-Test series against Bangladesh, where he mustered 64 runs at an average of 16.
His subpar performance was one of the reasons why the men in green ended up losing the series 2-0.
Azam will be back in action when Pakistan go up against England in a three-match Test series from October 7 to 28.
Pakistan Squad for Bangladesh Test Series: Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamer Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Muhammad Hurraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wicketkeeper), Shaheen Shah Afridi
