Mike Hesson: “There’s no doubt Babar’s been asked to improve in some areas around taking on spin and in terms of his strike-rate. Those are things he’s working really hard on”

Pakistan white-ball head coach Mike Hesson said batsman Babar Azam is working on two key areas when it comes to his game in T20Is.
Mike Hesson: “A player like Babar has an opportunity to play in the BBL and show he’s improving in those areas in T20s. He’s too good a player not to consider”

Pakistan white-ball head coach Mike Hesson wants batsman Babar Azam back in the T20I team as soon as possible as he is “too good a player not to consider”.
Ramiz Raja: “Either he has to play reverse sweep, sweep shot or switch hit against spin or he has to use his footwork and dominate the spinners because that domination factor ends as soon as a spinner comes [on to bowl]. So, Babar needs to work a lot on this area”

Former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja said limited overs captain Babar Azam “needs to work a lot” on his batting against spin as he has a noticeable weakness against such bowling.
Ramiz Raja: “If you want to find fault in his batting, it’s his batting against spin upfront when he starts the innings. He is not as fluent as he is when he is facing pace”

Former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja said Babar Azam’s big batting weakness is not being able to play spin bowling properly at the beginning of his innings.
