"Sarfaraz Ahmed Was An Active Captain Whereas Babar Azam...": Pakistan Star Compares The Two
Babar Azam's career graph is on the rise. He is currently the world No. 1 batter in ODIs and T20I in ICC rankings. In Tests, he is ranked No. 4. "As a player it's a dream to become the No. 1 in all formats and, for that, you have to focus and put in hard work. It's not like if you are the top player in one or two formats, you go easy," the official website of ICC quoted Babar as saying recently. "If you are to become No.1 in all three, you have to keep yourself fit and on track. There is back-to-back cricket and the gap is less. For that, you need to be extra fit. It's something I am preparing for. It's going well in white-ball and hopefully, I will be able to do well in Tests too," he added.
"It's Happening Continuously": Ex-Pakistan Captain Points Out Flaw In Shubman Gill's Batting
Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt pointed out that Indian opener Shubman Gill needs to take his innings deep. Butt added that the player should score big runs as he has got a lot of talent. The ex-international batter's comments came after Gill missed his half-century by seven runs in the second ODI of India's three-match series against West Indies on Sunday. Notably, Gill got a bottom edge of his bat on the delivery of Kyle Mayers while he was trying to play a scoop shot. Mayers comfortably completed the catch on the follow up to claim his wicket.

"Needs To Learn How To Play Turning Ball": Ex-Australia Captain On Travis Head
Australian Test great Allan Border has urged middle-order batter Travis Head to look to legendary opener Matthew Hayden for inspiration and develop a gameplan to be used in subcontinent conditions during his side's tour to India, which will take place this year. This comes after the batter experienced some terrible outings in the Test series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka. His failures in the subcontinent sit in contrast with a dominant Ashes campaign last summer, in which he scored 357 runs and emerged as the 'Player of the Series'. In his outings in Pakistan and Sri Lanka, he has scored only 91 runs at a poor average of 15.17 and the highest individual score of 26.
