Srinagar: Stressing on cherishing the value and experience of the senior duo Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan stand in skipper Shadab Khan on Sunday said that the Pakistan star duo will get more respect from the public and media after Afghanistan series.
Afghanistan earned 2-0 lead in the three match T20I series against Pakistan in Sharjah.
“People criticise Babar and Rizwan regardless of whether they perform or not. There is always a sword hanging over them of strike rate. As a nation, we wanted youngsters to come in international cricket, as they were performing in PSL, so we thought they would play with a better strike rate,” Shadab said in a post match press conference.
“But finally, our nation will realize that experience matters and our seniors didn’t get the respect they deserved considering their performances. So after this series, they will get a lot more respect from media and the nation,” he added.
The third match of the series will be played on Monday at the same venue.
