Ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup 2025, former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram feels that premier batsman Babar Azam should be included in the nation`s T20I side.
He said that there should be a senior batsman in the team, and Babar has the ability to adapt to different situations.
"If I had the authority, I would definitely include Babar Azam in the national T20 team. The Asia Cup and then the World Cup are approaching, and we need a senior batter. Fans may recall that when he represented Somerset in 2019, he scored runs at nearly a 150 strike rate. He has the ability to adapt his batting according to the situation," Akram said in an interview with Geo News.
