Pakistan batsman Babar Azam said he always tries to give his best when batting and maintains a positive mindset ahead of every match.
Azam has been bombarded with criticism for months on end as he has not been able to score runs on a regular basis for the men in green.
However, the 30-year-old has shown signs of improvement in his last couple of assignments as during the three-match ODI series against New Zealand, he amassed 129 runs, which included two fifties, at an average of 43.
Following this, he captained the Peshawar Zalmi in the 2025 Pakistan Super League (PSL) and accumulated 288 runs in 10 games, which included three fifties, at an average of 36 and a strike-rate of 128.57.
“My mindset is always positive – I try to give my best and perform at the highest level every time I step on the field,” Azam was quoted as saying by PakPassion on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Despite having a solid campaign with the bat in PSL 10, Azam was not picked for Pakistan’s three-match T20I series against Bangladesh, which the men in green won 3-0.
Pakistan Squad for Bangladesh T20I Series: Salman Ali Agha (captain), Shadab Khan (vice-captain), Abbas Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Hassan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Haris (wicketkeeper), Muhammad Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Sahibzada Farhan (wicketkeeper) and Saim Ayub
