Babar Azam of Pakistan has received guidance from former Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting on how to get back to his best batting form. Ponting recommended that Babar learn from Virat Kohli’s effective tactic of taking a break from the game to rest.
Due to Babar’s previous struggles, he was left out of Pakistan’s final two Test matches against England, which the side won with Shan Masood as captain.
His form has significantly declined after becoming the captaincy, as he hasn’t made a Test half-century in 18 innings since late 2022.
Similar to Kohli’s strategy earlier this year, Ponting stressed in an interview that Babar needs to take a break from cricket.
