Rashid Latif Advises PCB to Limit Babar Azam's English Media Exposure Ahead of England Tests
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, should handle media interactions instead, citing the challenging nature of England tours and the English media's tendency to scrutinize visiting teams. Babar recently showed strong form in Pakistan's Test series against the West Indies, helping end an eight-match away losing streak.
