This is not the first time that the Pakistani ace has lent his support to a fellow cricketer as he had posted a similar message for former Indian skipper Virat Kohli during the latter’s prolonged lean run with the bat. Babar, who was rested for Pakistan’s T20I series against Afghanistan, has been named in his side’s T20I and ODI series against the Kiwis at home, commencing on April 14. Meanwhile, Tom Latham will lead the visiting New Zealand side in the absence of several senior players.
