My dream has come true - Babar Azam - Cricket News - Sportstar

The Hindu  

Handed Test captaincy along with leadership role in the limited overs format, young Pakistan batsman Babar Azam remembered his days as a ball-picker in a Test match, saying he is living a dream. The Pakistan Cricket Board on Tuesday announced that Babar had replaced Azhar as Test captain, just one year after it had appointed the senior batsman to lead the Test side in place of Sarfaraz Ahmed. The dream has come true and I thank the PCB for showing faith in me as a captain as well," the top batsman said in a video message released by the PCB. And I will definitely seek their advice and pick up things from their mindset which will help me become a good Test captain," he said Babar's message was released shortly after Azhar Ali tweeted that he offered his full support to Babar.
