"We need to be patient and support Babar Azam as he is our captain": Sarfaraz Ahmed

[MenInG]

Sarfaraz Ahmed in a podcast

"I am associated with Quetta for the last eight years but my relationship with them is too old. I think since 2003 or 2004, I am with them. I guess I was just 17 when I first played for Nadeem Bhai's team Omar Associates"

"I played for the Pakistan club and Nadeem Bhai saw and supported me during my growth as a cricketer. He is just like a father figure to me. I will not leave Quetta until they do".

"There is always room for improvement. Babar is getting better as a captain gradually. He has started doing good and I hope will keep on getting better"

"My suggestion to him is that he needs to improve communication with his players. Good communication will make his players confident and it will produce big results"

"In Pakistan, making a mistake is a sin. I know Babar makes mistakes but give him some time. It takes time to become a captain and build a team. We need to be patient and support Babar as he is our captain"

"Gradually, Babar will learn from his mistakes if he continues as a captain in the future. I have played under him recently, and I have seen improvement in his captaincy. He will do good for Pakistan"

Until they do what?

Quetta’s main issue is not Sarfaraz Ahmed, but the toxic politician Moin Khan.

Sarfaraz Ahmed on BA scoring rate:

"My opinion is different that if there is a partner alongside Babar [who can accelerate]. If I am the captain, I would want Babar to open for my team and play full 20 overs"

"If Babar is scoring 80 runs for me at one end, so my team would easily post 170 or 180. He is an anchor and other batsmen can play around him"

Good thinking by sarfaraz

Can't wait to see babar playing under sarfaraz in t20

Better to have Babar as accumulator and others bashing the ball instead of everyone accumulating
