The upcoming ICC Men’s Under 19 Cricket World Cup in South Africa is set to highlight the supremely talented young guns in the cricketing world. A few of these youngsters expressed their admiration and love for Pakistan’s superstar Babar Azam and how his classy batting inspires them as cricketers.

Scotland’s bowler, Ibrahim Faisal showed his admiration for Pakistan’s premium batter and hoped to emulate his magical cover drive one day in the future.

In an interview published on ICC’s social media handles, Ibrahim said, “It’s so generic but my favorite is Babar Azam and I love his cover drive”

“I just love watching him play, his balance on the crease is immaculate, I know I’m a bowler but still, he is amazing” he added praising Pakistan’s premium batter.

West Indies batter, Joshua Dorne praised Babar Azam’s batting approach and said, “His approach to batting and how he builds his innings, from start to finish, the way he moves through the gears in batting and stuff like that, I just think he is extraordinary.”
