Mohammad Hafeez, while speaking on a show on a media platform:
"For God's sake, bring Babar to number three. If he has any anger or ego, set it aside and just think for Pakistan cricket."
"If Babar, the best ODI player, comes back at number three, then slots three, four, and five get sorted. So, open up slot seven. First, let’s talk about three, four, and five—Babar, Rizwan, and Salman Ali Agha. These are very important slots, and they will be sorted. You now have a regular, good opener in Imam, who has returned to the team."
