Former Pakistan pacer, Shoaib Akhtar, has suggested Babar Azam to transform himself into a “man of steel” if he wishes to lead the national side for a long period.
Akhtar’s remarks follow the statement of CEO Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Wasim Khan, in which he categorically stated that “Babar Azam will remain captain until Ehsan Mani and myself are here.”

While responding to Khan’s statement, Akhter, during a show on PTV Sports, said “when you come in the limelight and go on the path of becoming a real star, some people will try to bring you down and make you suffer. That is the time when you have to show what you are made of. “
Babar Azam must evolve as a captain, player, and batsman so that everyone knows that he is a man of steel.
