The chat that former Pakistan team director Mohammad Hafeez had with star batsmen Babar and Mohammad Rizwan during the recently finished Twenty20 International series against New Zealand was just made public.
Pakistan finished their visit with a 4-1 record after winning the final game by 42 runs, sparing them from a rout during the five-match Twenty20 International series.
After going through a dry spell in the World Cup and the Test series against Australia last year, Babar showed signs of getting back to his best during the first three games of the series.
The veteran batter amassed scores of 57, 66, and 58 against the Kiwis. He scored 213 runs at an average of 42.6 over the series.
Hafeez talked candidly about his chat with Babar, emphasizing the value of each player’s participation, which is crucial to the team’s success.
Hafeez, quoting from Geo News, stated in an interview: “You are a great player, you are a wonderful player, and you are playing great cricket; however, you have to develop the Pakistan team.”
It was recommended by the former team director that Rizwan and Babar accept positional modifications. He continued by saying that although he valued Babar’s skill and potential, he should play at the number three place instead of starting for the squad.
“We need to develop a team, and for that, I want you to come at number three because you have been playing this role in the ODI cricket for the last six years,” Hafeez said.
