Babar Azam’s rise was further reaffirmed when the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) appointed him the captain of the ODI and T20I teams last week. Babar Azam has been Pakistan’s most prolific batsman in recent times. His meteoric rise in the past year or so has seen climb to the top of the ICC Men’s T20I Rankings, while he is also highly-placed in ODI (3rd) and Test (5th) rankings as well. Former Pakistan pacer Tanvir Ahmed, however, feels scoring runs and leadership skills are not the only things that make a good captain.
Tanvir Ahmed, who played five Tests, two ODIs and a T20I for Pakistan, came up with a bizarre list of things that Babar Azam needs to work on, to become a complete captain.
In a video posted by Saj Sadiq, a Pakistani cricket writer, Ahmed said Babar Azam needs to “improve his English, work on his personality and change his dressing sense”.
