Ex-Pakistan Captain Advises Shielding Babar Azam from English Media on England Tour
Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has advised the Pakistan Cricket Board to keep current Test captain Babar Azam away from the English media during the upcoming three-match Test series in England. Latif suggested that former captain Shan Masood, who has experience playing in England and dealing with its media, should handle media duties instead. This recommendation comes ahead of Pakistan's tour starting August 19, following Babar's recent leadership in a drawn series against the West Indies and Pakistan's efforts to improve their World Test Championship standing.
