Veteran Bangladesh batsman Mushfiqur Rahim has praised Pakistan Test captain Babar Azam, calling him a “world-class cricketer”.
Azam has been the backbone of Pakistan’s batting line-up for many years, but recently went through a rough patch where his runs dried up.
However, the 32-year-old has shown signs of getting back to his best lately and will no doubt be looking to post big scores in his side’s upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka.
“He is a world-class cricketer,” Rahim was quoted as saying by Geo Super.
Pakistan’s Test series against Sri Lanka will be played from November 9 to 21 in Rawalpindi and Lahore.
Pakistan Squad for the Test series against Sri Lanka: Babar Azam (captain), Aamer Jamal, Ali Shabbir, Arafat Minhas, Azan Awais, Mohammad Abbas, Ghazi Ghori (wicketkeeper), Mohammad Suleman, Mohammad Taha, Tayyab Arif, Razaullah, Saad Baig (wicketkeeper), Salman Ali Agha, Sameer Minhas, Saqib Khan and Saud Shakeel
