The Story in Brief
Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has advised the PCB to keep Babar Azam away from the English media during the three-Test tour of England starting August 19. Latif told Geo News that English journalists often drag visiting teams into unnecessary stories, making it a difficult assignment. He suggested Shan Masood, who has played in England and knows the media there, handle more press duties.
The advice follows Babar's solid showing in the drawn series against the West Indies, where he made 58, 88 and an unbeaten 24. His last knock sealed an eight-wicket win, Pakistan's first away Test victory in eight attempts. The first Test starts at Headingley on August 19.
The Indian Opinion
Some fans see Latif as an old head stirring drama, but his point is practical: Babar is the side's best batsman and captain, and England's press loves a storyline. Yet shielding him from a few microphones is not the same as fixing the top order's collapses. Watch how many times Pakistan lose three early wickets at Headingley before blaming the media schedule for Babar's form.
