Pakistan Cricket Board's interim chief selector Shahid Afridi stated that he wants to create two teams for Pakistan and improve their bench strength.
“I want to create two teams for Pakistan before my tenure ends in order to improve bench strength,” Afridi told the media.
Afridi also said that Babar Azam is the backbone of their team and will look to improve the bench strength of the team while is in charge of the team's selection.
"Babar Azam is the backbone of our team. He is one of our top performers. I liked it when he challenged the New Zealand team for the chase. And as a selection committee, we want to be a shoulder for him and support him," Afridi told media personnel at a press conference.
"Also, I liked what he said in the post-match presser after the draw. He said the team is focusing on cricket and is unaware of what is being said outside. So, Babar should focus on the game only. The selection committee will always support him to come up with better combinations so that he feels confident on the field," he added.
