Pakistam team director Mohammad Hafeez has addressed the ongoing discussion surrounding the potential rest for Babar Azam during the upcoming T20I series in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Azam, who faced a challenging Test series in Australia scoring only 126 runs across six innings, has drawn suggestions from various ex-cricketers advocating for a break.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the post-match presser, Hafeez emphasized the management’s readiness to support Azam, whether it involves rest or assistance in refining his techniques.<\/p>\n

“Babar Azam can be rested. Before giving rest to Babar, one has to think about what Babar himself wants,” Hafeez said.<\/p>\n

“Not necessarily to rest, [he] can talk about improving any technique,” he further added.<\/p>\n

Hafeez praised Azam’s dedication and acknowledged his contributions in matches but highlighted the need for a significant innings to boost his confidence. Additionally, he stressed the importance of red-ball cricket in refining a player’s skills across formats.<\/p>\n

“A big innings will restore his confidence. Red ball cricket brings sophistication to the game. A red ball cricketer can play all formats,” he concluded.<\/p>\n
