Meanwhile, Pakistan cricket team coach Mickey Arthur, who had earlier said Azam would be as good as Virat Kohli, conceded that he jumped the gun a little too soon.
“I think he will be in the top five [batsmen] of the world very soon across all formats. I thought I was a bit quick off the gun when I said two years ago that he would be almost as good as Virat Kohli but it has taken him a while to show that class,” Express Tribune quoted Arthur as saying.
“But if you watched him in the nets couple of years ago, he was a young boy who has developed into a young man, he’s got stronger and fitter and his game gets better and better all the time,” Arthur added.
