Babar Azam, the captain of Peshawar Zalmi, is unconcerned by criticism directed at him since he is just concerned about his performance on the field.
The Zalmi skipper was questioned at a press conference on Saturday in Lahore about how he maintains his composure and refuses to respond negatively while being criticized by both current and previous cricket players.
“While you should constantly remain optimistic, avoid being arrogant. I attempt to maintain my modesty since I am aware of my past. I make an effort, but just in cricket. I greet everyone cheerfully,” said Babar.
When Zalmi and Lahore Qalandars play on Sunday in Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Shaheen Afridi and Babar will square off.
“I strive to give it my all whenever I play against Shaheen and Lahore Qalandars. He is well-known as one of Pakistan’s top bowlers, and he keeps getting better. When playing against him is difficult, you start to feel certain that you are facing the best bowler. You may observe how we compete,” said he.
The 28-year-old also praised his opening partner at Zalmi at the moment, Mohammad Haris, and described how he differs from Mohammad Rizwan, who opens for the national T20I team.
“With every player, I have fun. You must have fun while also giving your best effort and playing to the circumstances. When I struggle, Rizwan fills in for me, and vice versa,” explained he.
“Haris is a young person with a unique aesthetic. He tries to outpace the opposition, and it’s amazing how he’s getting things going in our favor. But, he has to develop when he enters the workforce at age 40, therefore I’m attempting to mentor him and am hoping for positive outcomes,” Added he.
