Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja has admitted that current Test skipper Babar Azam needs to make bigger scores than forties and sixties if he is to win matches for his side.
Ramiz noted that Azam needs to score big hundreds in order to truly become a match-winner for the men in green.
His comments come after Azam has shown encouraging signs of returning to form but has fallen short of converting his starts into triple figure scores on multiple occasions.
“If Babar Azam keeps scoring 40s and 60s, Pakistan will never win games,” Ramiz was quoted as saying on Facebook.
Azam is currently captaining Pakistan in their two-Test series against Sri Lanka and made 50 runs in the first innings of the ongoing 1st Test in Rawalpindi.
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
