Javed Miandad is all praise for top batter Babar Azam

Former captain Javed Miandad has lavished praise on national cricket team captain Babar Azam, saying he is a top batsman.

"Babar Azam is a top hitter and there is no doubt about his batting capabilities," the 64-year-old former skipper told the media.

"Babar Azam does not get cowed by bowlers. This is his special quality."

Sending his well wishes to the 27-year-old top batsman on ICC's ODI ranking, Javed Miandad hoped that Babar Azam will see many other laurels and records come under his belt.

If a player scores a triple century, he is definitely a great player, said Miandad.

"In my view, drop-in wickets are of no use in Karachi," he said.

Javed Miandad was the country's youngest cricket captain. He retired in 1996 after making a debut in international cricket in 1976.
