Babar Azam needs to establish himself as match-winner: Shoaib Akhtar

 Karachi: Former pacer Shoaib Akhtar has criticized Pakistan’s team batting and Babar Azam in particular, after a poor show with the bat in the second innings against England at Old Trafford, after having a 107 runs lead.

Pakistan lost the Test by three wickets after England wrapped the visitors’ batting on 169 in second innings, and chased down the 277 run target on day four.

Speedster on his youtube channel said that Babar has to come out with something good to become a match-winner.

“If you’re not capitalizing on a 107-run lead, however big a batsman you may be, you’re of no use. Babar has to come out with something good because you can’t make a name for yourself like this. You are a good player but you got to establish yourself as a match-winner,” Shoaib said.
