Azam was addressing the media ahead of the limited-overs games against New Zealand on Thursday. The Pakistan skipper expressed his exact sentiments as to why some changes to the side were necessary after their last ODI against England. Speaking about their setup in ODIs against New Zealand, Azam said:
Some of the changes in the Pakistan team have been orchestrated by the recent 3-0 loss to England in a series contested in the U.K. The serious drubbing by a second-string England team has raised questions about the path that the Pakistan one-day side is on under Babar Azam’s leadership.
Speaking to the press about the vision that is being instilled after the new changes in the Pakistan cricket board, the captain said:
The Pakistan cricket board recently welcomed a new chairman in Rameez Raja following an examination of affairs in the administration by the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan. The changes have been praised by a lot of former Pakistan cricketers.
Consistency is the key to make it to the Pakistan side: Babar Azam
In wake of some of the recent changes in the team owing to the drubbing that the team suffered, the Pakistan skipper spoke about how the selection process works. On being asked about the players selected in the team for the ODIs against New Zealand, Azam said:
Pakistan will face New Zealand in 3 ODIs and 5 T20is in a home series. The 5 T20s will be very important for Pakistan to gauge their chances for the upcoming World Cup. The Men in Green Pakistan are the favorites in home conditions against a New Zealand side missing some of its key players.
