Babar Azam: I am proud that now I am the skipper

The Hindu  

Newly-installed Pakistan captain Babar Azam admitted his team will face a stern test during next month’s tour of Australia, but vowed his players will go for victory. Azam last week replaced Sarfaraz Ahmed, who was dumped as skipper and left out of the squad following the shocking 3-0 rout of the Twenty20 side — ranked number one in the world — at the hands of an inexperienced Sri Lanka earlier this month. READ| What a Kashmiri woman wrestler wants from PM Modi Azam, the number one batsman in Twenty20 rankings, said he feels honoured to have the chance to lead his country, 12 years after he entered a stadium as a ball picker. “I have toured Australia as skipper of Pakistan Under-19 and with the Pakistan team three years ago, so I have experience of those conditions.” Pakistan will also be without senior stalwarts Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Hafeez, who were not selected for the tour.
