Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur believes young batsman Babar Azam will be one of the top batsmen in the near future. However, he concedes that he jumped the gun a little too soon when he predicted his young ward would be as good as Virat Kohli. It has been a disappointing tour of South Africa for Pakistan, but Babar emerged as one of the biggest positives. “I have never doubted Babar Azam, he keeps on getting better and better and the exciting thing for us is that we haven’t seen the best of Azam yet. There have been question marks around Azam outside the sub-continent but I think he’s put those to rest now,” the coach added.
