Saeed Ajmal Desires More Batsmen like Babar Azam in the Team, Acknowledges his Brilliance

Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistan cricket team, is currently regarded as one of the most consistent batsmen in international cricket. Topping the ICC Men’s ODI rankings, ranking third in T20Is, and fifth in Test cricket, Babar Azam has proven his class as a top-order batsman. Under his captaincy, the team has reached the finals of the 2022 Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup 2022, displaying consistent performances.

Former Pakistan cricketer Saeed Ajmal recently expressed his admiration for Babar Azam, stating that he always desired to have a player like him during his playing days. Ajmal believed that Babar’s ability to occupy the crease and score runs patiently made it challenging for bowlers. Ajmal also emphasized the need for two or three more players of Babar’s caliber in order to strengthen the team.

During an interview with Cricket Pakistan, Ajmal highlighted the importance of Babar’s contributions across all three formats of the game. He urged fans to support Babar instead of constantly criticizing him, considering his impressive rankings and numerous records.

With Babar Azam consistently topping the rankings in T20Is, ODIs, and being among the top ten in Tests, as well as achieving the fastest 5000 runs and accumulating the highest number of runs, Ajmal emphasized the significance of backing such an exceptional player.
