Here are the three worrying signs which Babar Azam-led Pakistan need to ponder upon as they prepare for this year’s T20 World Cup. Pakistan, after they were sent in to bat first, struggled against slow bowlers from the word go. Mohammad Amir accounted for all three of them and Pakistan lifted the trophy with ease that year. Like that same India team, Pakistan are now relying more than ever on Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman to fire for them. We discussed that Hafeez needs to reaffirm his form and occupy the number four spot more responsibly, but Pakistan needs to find consistent performers on the number five, six and seven positions as well.
