Absence of Babar

Although the the absence of Babar Azam is a major set back for the Pakistani team as he’s their most value able asset in terms of batting and he’s the captain. But Coach Misbah-ul-Haq said:  “Injuries are part and parcel of professional sport,” said Pakistan head coach Misbahul Haq, adding that he remained optimistic that this would open up opportunities for “other highly talented and exciting players to step-up […] and try to prove that the Pakistan side is a complete package.”
