Babar Azam on Test captaincy: Don’t have to justify myself to anyone

The Hindu  

Pakistan captain Babar Azam was bombarded with questions over his captaincy future following a winless Test season at home. My focus is on performing well for Pakistan.” Babar also said the players were excited about the One-Day series beginning at the National Stadium on Monday. We have our best bowlers back and hopefully, we can do well against New Zealand.” New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson said it was not decided what approach his team would play with in the three match series as it would all depend on conditions. “We have followed a particular pattern in white ball cricket and we will want to do that but it is a new experience for some of our players to be playing in the subcontinent conditions and they will have to adapt accordingly during the match.” Williamson, who last scored an ODI hundred in 2019, said he was not pushed by that as what was important was everyone getting runs at the right time for the team. All three ODI games will be played in the week in Karachi and Williamson said they had not decided on any replacement for fast bowler Matt Henry who was ruled out of the white ball series in Pakistan and India due to a injury.
