Srinagar: Former Pakistan skipper Rashid Latif has termed Babar Azam as one of the greatest that Pakistan has produced and said that some former ‘superstars’ has problem with Pakistan skipper.
“I believe the issue at hand is not Babar Azam’s captaincy, but rather his power. There seems to be a significant disparity between Babar and some former superstar cricketers in Pakistan, who have resorted to involving their own associates with the board to strip him of his captaincy,” Rashid Latif was quoted as saying.
“I won’t dwell on Babar’s batting, as there’s not much left to say that hasn’t already been observed. We’ve witnessed him scoring countless centuries before our very eyes. Making centuries is as routine for Babar as it is for us to cover shows. When he retires, Babar will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the greatest cricketers in history,” said Rashid.
Latif warned Babar Azam’s detractors to desist from discouraging the star batter.
“The individuals attempting to oust Babar from captaincy must desist, for he is simply unremovable. His exquisite technique, judicious shot selection, and impeccable balance on the pitch has ensured that,” Latif said.
“He is already answering his detractors by letting his bat do the talking, but it seems that some are unable to comprehend this. Should he start whacking his critics with his bat to make his point, or what?” he concluded.
