Former Pakistani pacer Mohammad Amir stated that Babar Azam has nothing to prove as a player after the latter stepped down from captaincy across formats on Wednesday (November 15).
Amir, 30, argued that Azam should take this, his removal as a captain, as a challenge.
“This is my advice to Babar [Azam] that he should take this thing [leaving captaincy] as a challenge. He has nothing to prove as a player,” Amir said while talking on a news program of a private TV.
“[Virat] Kohli got to know through social media that he was removed from the captaincy.”
Amir then talked about the newly-appointed Test captain Shan Masood and stated that he could be proven a good captain.
“Shan has had a fantastic domestic season. He can turn out to be a great captain,” Amir said.
Meanwhile, left-arm all-rounder Imad Wasim who was present at that show as well, said that Babar’s decision is great as he would be able to lift captaincy pressure now.
