We have a lot to learn from the senior players: Babar Azam

Pakistan team has a nice mix of experience and youth in the squad. Their 15-member squad includes Shoaib Malik, Mohammed Hafeez, and Sarfaraz Ahmed. Babar Azam believes that the team has a lot to learn from these experienced players. He added that the mix of experience and youth players is key to win their second ICC T20 World Cup title.

“All the players have entered the side after a good domestic performance. We have a lot to learn from the senior players in the side because they have so much experience, they have played the World Cup and leagues before. 7-8 players in our squad have also played the Champions Trophy before which brings out different confidence.”
