Srinagar: Former Pakistan pacer Aaqib Javed has taken another dig at Pakistan cricket team skipper Babar Azam suggesting star batter to bat in thank middle order in T20I’s.
Pakistan has been struggling in middle order and that was visible in Asia Cup 2022 and recent series against England.
That has promted team management to experiment by promoting Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz up the order.
“A performing captain like Babar Azam should bat where Pakistan is currently facing a crisis and that is middle order,” Aaqib Javed was quoted by Cricket Pakistan.
“The performance of Babar Azam in the middle order will also give confidence to others who’ll bat along him,” he was further quoted as saying.
Aaqib also want opener Fakhar Zaman to be part of the 15-member squad of the world cup and open the innings.
“Fakhar Zaman should open with Mohammad Rizwan in T20 World Cup. PCB Selection Committee can replace Khushdil Shah or Haider Ali with Fakhar Zaman in fifteen member T20 WorldCup squad, Pakistan batting lineup looks fragile without him,” he added.
