Former England captain Michael Vaughan has named his top three Pakistan batters of all time across all formats of the game.
The former opening batter picked star batter Babar Azam in the third slot of his list for the top Pakistan batters.
“My number three is Babar Azam. He just lost his place in the Test side but I am sure he will get it back. He is a world-class batter and averages 47 across formats. In one-day internationals, he is averaging nearly 57,” Michael Vaughan said during a recent interview.
Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq also got a mention in Vaughan’s list for the top three Pakistan batters.
“My number two is the big fellow Inzy. He may get across all the formats. He didn’t like to run between the wickets but he didn’t need to as he can struck the ball out of the ground,” he added.
