Babar Azam excited to perform in Lahore's decisive test against aussies

Skipper Babar Azam in pre-match virtual conference said that he was really excited to perform in front of the home crowd in Lahore against Australia where he was playing for the first time in a test match, reported 24NewsHD TV channel. 

“I can explain my feeling in words. Definitely, it’s a different feeling to play in Lahore for the first time,” he said. 

Answering a question, Babar Azam said that he has been practicing as a bowler as well for quite some time now because the plan is to present some different kind of bowling for the batsmen who usually set themselves with the known bowling attack.

The skipper defended Azhar Ali and imam ul Haq and said both performed well in the previous tests and with just a performance of a match, you cannot pick and choose someone in the team.

“We will give our 100 percent as a team and will enter in the ground with a winning mindset,” he said. 

Babar commenting on the Qaddafi Stadium pitch said that the pitch might help spinners because of the small cracks but definitely you cannot predict exactly how the pitch would behave in the coming days. 

Babar Azam said that team’s mindset is to win the series and team want result oriented Lahore Test.

He was of the view that the pitch for Lahore Test is no different from Karachi/Rawalpindi.
