Good on the eye. This guy has technical glitches, but he has time to rectify it. However, he is a Pakistani batsman. So we will have to be careful in his assessment. Success gets to their heads quickly (Umar Akmal, Shehzad, Maqsood, Nasir Jamshed, et al).

 

Pakistan need a batsman to replace Younis Khan quickly and looks like they found one potential candidate. Good for him. Let's see what the future holds for him..

Umer Akmal has more of temperament issues than technicals, Babaz Azam always looks to Build an inng and go long...

Time is up for most of the dashers who can't play long in ODIs. Earlier hitters were considered special players and you could pick them just for ability to hit hard. Now almost all good players are good hitters, so no more leeway to sloggers in ODIs.

So far, so good.  He may do OK for a few more innings, but key test for Pak batsman is can they handle Sophomore syndrome - Once they play a good number of times and opposition has a chance to analyze him with videos etc.  Can he make counter-adjustments to overcome the weaknesses once targeted?  

 

Pak in desperate need of decent batting in tests and ODIs, they may have found at least one serviceable player.
