I think Babar has a lot to prove: Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar

Lahore: Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar and wicket-keeper Rashid Latif have torn into Babar Azam saying that if he wants to lead like Imran Khan, then he should also develop his personality to match the current Prime Minister of the country.

"Babar Azam wants to be a captain like Imran Khan but this does not mean that it will only be related to playing cricket. He needs to take a leaf out of PM Imran's book with regards to personality as well," Akhtar said in a YouTube show WAJI's Sports.

"Please don't speak about things which we already know from the past 10 years. We won't buy this argument. Babar has to sharpen up his communication skills, his personality, ability to lead from the front, fitness level etc. I think he has a lot to prove."

Echoing the sentiments, Latif said: "When captain is sitting in a press conference, he gives insight about his vision but this was clearly lacking. Our captain is giving headlines about the language barrier and things we already know, like comparison with Virat Kohli. Babar should have made a strong statement rather than just following the script given to him. You have already showcased that your mental attitude and approach is not up to the mark." IANS
