pak vs sa babar urges pak to aim higher after sa Test series win

The Hindu  

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam believed the team should be looking higher, post its 2-0 Test series victory over South Africa on Monday. "Getting into the top five is promising and we would like to extend our win streak and rise a bit more higher in the ranking," the Pakistan captain said after a 95-run victory in the second test in Rawalpindi on Monday. Already captain of Pakistan's T20 and ODI teams, Babar was appointed as skipper of the Test side in November and was supposed to make his Test captaincy debut in New Zealand. A fractured thumb ruled him out of that series, which Pakistan lost 2-0, and he returned for the matches against South Africa, scoring only 122 runs in the two tests.
