Pak vs Ind: Mohammad Amir makes big statement on Babar Azam

Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir has backed skipper Babar Azam to do well against India during the ICC World Cup 2023 match against India today in Ahmedabad.

Amir believes that Azam will make a strong comeback despite failing to deliver in the first two matches of the mega event, where he scored only 15 runs.

“Babar is a big player for Pakistan and there is no doubt about it. If he has not scored in the first two matches that doesn’t mean that he will fail in the next match as well. He has the ability to make a comeback and I hope he will do that,” Amir said on Geo News.

However, Amir added that Indian batter Virat Kohli has the edge over Azam heading into the high-voltage clash.

“However, personally Virat is my favourite. He has always performed in pressure games, especially against Pakistan. I think both Babar and Virat will have to play a key role today but I think Kohli has the edge over Babar,” he added.

Earlier, Amir said that one change should be made in the Men in Green’s team combination during the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023.

While speaking on Haarna Mana Hay, the left-armer stated that leg-spinner Usama Mir should be part of the playing XI. However, he didn’t name the player he should replace in the side.

“I will not talk about who should be excluded from the team but I would try to bring Usama Mir in the team combination. You need wickets in the middle overs and he is the kind of bowler who is in form and taking wickets. He can bat a bit too,” said Amir while responding to a question about what changes he will make if he was part of the team management.
