Pakistan hard hitting left handed batter Fakhar Zaman has named the one batter with whom he likes bating in Pakistan team.

Fakhar Zaman has named Babar Azam as his preference for batting during an interview.

“I have played Tests, ODIs, and T20s, and I have also batted with about 11 or 12 partners. The experience has been different in each format, but honestly, I enjoy batting the most with Babar Azam,” Fakhar said.

“Babar minimises dot balls, so there’s less pressure on me. Even though I play aggressively, my job is to make the game easier for the non-striker. Whenever I have played with Babar, I feel that he makes it easier for me as well because it’s not necessary to score runs by hitting boundaries every time, the way he rotates the strike or capitalises on loose balls for boundaries brings me joy and makes playing with him a delightful experience,” he added.

Pakistan are scheduled to play 12 T20I ahead of the World Cup. They are hosting New Zealand first and will then travel to Europe for matches against Ireland and the reigning T20 World Champions, England, in May.
