Addressing the post-match conference, the 25-year-old said the Australian conditions along with the hosts gave the batsmen a tough time.

“It’s very difficult to score runs in Australia because the team [Australia] are well-practised on home ground. This is why I would call the innings, the best innings of my career,” he said.

Azam who fell victim to Josh Hazlewood in the first innings for just a run scored 104 off 173 balls in the second innings.

Speaking about his first innings, Azam expressed regret over his lacklustre performance but assured that he had learned from his shortcomings.

“As soon as I got to the crease, I began playing shots which I should have not done right away which resulted in my early dismissal in the first innings,” he said.

“However, I have learned from my mistakes and in the second innings I was able to convert my numbers through those very shots that caused my downfall, but I wish I wasn’t dismissed just after my century,” Azam added.
