IND vs PAK: Skipper Babar Azam Lauds Pakistan Players After Reaching Number One Rank In ODIs

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam credited his players for reaching the top spot in the latest ICC Men’s ODI team rankings. Babar Azam admitted that the series victory against Afghanistan will boost their confidence ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup, which is set to commence on August 30.

Pakistan whitewashed the Hashmatullah Shahidi-led team in the recently concluded three-match ODI series in Sri Lanka. The Men in Green registered 142 runs in the first ODI in Hambantota. They beat the opposition by one wicket and 59 runs in the next two matches, respectively.

This Should Help Us In Asia Cup – Babar Azam

Speaking after the series victory, skipper Babar Azam said that his players played well against the world-class spin bowling attack consisting of Mujeeb ur Rahman, Rashid Khan, and Mohammad Nabi.

“We are number one in ODIs. All credit to the boys, they are working hard. We had a small camp in Lahore. All credit to the boys and the management. One of the best spin sides – Afghanistan. This should help us in Asia Cup,” he said.
