Babar Azam to bat at number three in Twenty20 Internationals

“It took two months to persuade Babar Azam to bat at number three in Twenty20 Internationals,” shockingly admits Muhammad Hafeez.

It took two months, according to the recently fired Pakistan Cricket Board captain Mohammad Hafeez, to persuade Babar Azam to bat at number three in PSL live matches. In order to allow youngster Saim Ayub to partner with wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan.

Talking on a local channel A Sport’s show called The Pavilion, where panelists included the renowned former left-arm bowler Wasim Akram and another former captain Misbah-ul-Haq, Hafeez asserted that Babar Azam had complied with his guidance and demands.

The host initiated the talk by questioning Misbah over a certain team’s decision to choose seven opening batters. The host inquired about the reasoning and approach behind this unusual choice. In response, Mohammad Hafeez—who was named the national team director in November 2023—described his methods for leading the Pakistani team, which finished last month’s five-match T20I series in New Zealand with six openers.

Before PSL live matches

The Green Army embarked on an overseas T20 tour without Babar Azam as captain for the first time in more than two years. Additionally, it was Hafeez’s second assignment with the squad following a 3-0 Test series loss in Australia captained by Shan Masood.

Pakistan’s captaincy under Shaheen Afridi had not gone well at all as they had lost the New Zealand series 4-1. As he answered the host’s query, Hafeez said that he had to choose between six opening batters in the playing XI and that it’s never an easy task to complete.

Before disclosing that he asked Babar Azam to bat at number three, Hafeez claimed that the majority of up-and-coming Pakistani batsmen are hesitant to bat at numbers five or six, which results in a shortage of middle-order hitters.
