Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja has questioned why Babar Azam’s problems with the bat aren’t being sorted out.
Azam has struggled to score runs consistently for a few months, which has been a major issue for the men in green as they tend to rely heavily on him.
Many former players have pinpointed flaws in the 29-year-old’s technique and Ramiz admitted to being bamboozled by the fact that nothing seems to have been done to rectify the problems.
“Why are the problems of Babar Azam not being sorted out?” he was quoted as saying by Samaa TV.
Azam recently represented Pakistan in their two-Test series against Bangladesh and scored 64 runs at an average of 16.
His poor batting was one of the reasons why the men in green were beaten 2-0.
The Lahore-born batsman then featured in the Champions One-Day Cup, which was a domestic 50-over tournament that took place in Faisalabad.
In four games for the Stallions, he accumulated 230 runs in four matches, which included a century and a fifty, at an average of 76.66.
Azam is now representing Pakistan in their three-Test series against England and made scores of 30 and 5 in the first Test in Multan, which the men in green lost by an innings and 47 runs.
The second Test will begin on October 15 in Multan.
