Former Pakistani spinner Mushtaq Ahmed has suggested that Babar Azam, the star batsman, should consider taking a break from cricket due to his recent struggles in form. Mushtaq drew a comparison with Indian batsman Virat Kohli, highlighting that Kohli took a break when he faced a dip in form and has since bounced back successfully.
Babar has been facing challenges in the ongoing three-match Test series against Australia, managing to score only 77 runs across four innings. Mushtaq expressed his concern during an interview, emphasizing that management should have advised Babar to take some time off, especially considering his recent difficulties in tournaments like the Asia Cup and World Cup.
This recommendation from Mushtaq Ahmed reflects a common practice in cricket where players, even the best ones, occasionally take breaks to rejuvenate and regain their form. It underlines the importance of mental and physical well-being in a player’s performance on the field.
