Pakistan’s interim white-ball cricket head coach Aaqib Javed is backing skipper Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam despite their struggles in the three-match T20I series against Australia. Rizwan scored 0 and 16 in two games, while Babar amassed 3, 3 and 41. The Men in Green lost the series by 0-3.
“Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan still have a value in T20Is. They have performed over the years for Pakistan,” he said.
His response came after Basit Ali claimed that Babar Azam’s T20I career was over affect Aaqib Javed was appointed as the head coach.
“This may be Babar Azam’s last T20I match as Aaqib Javed is the new head coach in shorter formats,” he said.
