New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell said Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Azam Khan possesses outstanding power.
Azam, who has showcased his big-hitting capabilities on a number of occasions, has been working hard to improve himself, most notably shedding 20kg from his frame.
The 28-year-old was last in action during the 2026 Pakistan Super League (PSL), where he amassed 236 runs in nine matches for the Karachi Kings, which included a top score of 74, at an average of 33.71 and a strike-rate of 145.67.
“The power he possesses is outstanding,” Mitchell was quoted as saying by PakPassion.
Azam was not picked for Pakistan’s recent three-Test series against England, which the men in green lost 3-0.
