Pakistan’s former captain and coach Waqar Younis believes that Pakistan is one of the favorites in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Babar Azam has a golden opportunity to win the Asia Cup this time. Currently ranked number three in the T20 rankings, Pakistan will go to Australia to play the T20 World Cup in October.
In the last World Cup as well, Pakistan played a great game as the favorite and left the semi-finals. But Waqar thinks that Pakistan has full capacity to win the World Cup this time. While his betting horses are captain Babar Azam and opener Mohammad Rizwan. According to him, if their bat smiles, nobody can stop Pakistan.
Waqar has shared the dugout with all the legendary cricketers in his 14-year cricket career. Cricketers like Javed Miandad, Inzamam-ul-Haque, Mohammad Yusuf, Younis Khan, Saeed Anwar were his teammates. Babar, the best batsman of the present time, is compared with those legendary batsmen in Pakistan.
When asked about Waqar’s comment on the comparison of Babar with the legends, he said, ”Babar is at the forefront of the best players at present. Those (Miandad, Inzamam) legends have proved their ability in their time. They have played their best in different situations. We have to remember that.”
