Pakistan captain Babar Azam on Saturday defended the changes made to Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad and said that a few players were not in good touch during the domestic tournament.

Pakistan added Sarfaraz Ahmed, Haider Ali and Fakhar Zaman as replacements in their 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates and Oman.

“Some players were not in a fine touch during the domestic tournament. Changes were made to the squad since some players were not able to perform well,” said Babar Azam in a virtual press conference organised by the ICC.

Wicketkeeper Sarfaraz and batsman Haider have come in for Azam Khan and Mohammad Hasnain, respectively, while opener Fakhar, originally named as a travel reserve, replaces Khushdil Shah.

The Pakistani skipper named two cricketers who he thinks will have a great campaign in the UAE.

“Kane Williamson as batter and Hasan Ali will be the bowler who would have a successful T20 World Cup 2021,” said Babar.

Babar backed his team to produce a good fight in the tournament considering the amount of matches his teammates have played in UAE.

“We have played a lot of cricket UAE and the conditions suit us and we have to be best in all departments,” said Babar.

Speaking on his form, Babar said, “Representing my country is an honour for me and I feel proud to sit here as the captain. It is a new challenge and I believe we will do better.”

“Definitely good performances give you confidence. And it’s good to know that I am in good form before the World Cup and I just need to be confident,” he added.

Babar Azam said he was looking forward to the tournament getting underway. He said when Pakistan won the T20 World Cup in 2009, it was a moment of pride for him.

“We will try our best to recapture that moment again,” he said.

Pakistan will open their T20 World Cup campaign against arch-rivals India.
