“Pakistan’s talent is as red hot as any other country but it needs to be nurtured. Also I think they are becoming real athletes and working hard on their fitness,” he added. The former right-handed batsman also recalled his experience of visiting Pakistan, which he enjoyed to a great extent. “It was a terrific tournament and I was honoured to be in Pakistan. We nearly got there but unfortunately the event was ended prematurely due to COVID-19,” he said. “The country was jumping and the atmosphere was just amazing.” The 50-year-old also believes that this year’s title should be given to table-toppers Multan Sultans. “It would be fair to give the title to Multan Sultans because it is difficult to come back for the finals especially due to the tight calendar and availability of players,” he said. “We did the same in domestic tournaments here in Australia.” When asked to compare India’s Virat Kohli, Pakistan’s Babar Azam and England’s Joe Root, he said: “If you are asking about the best, then it has to be Kohli. He is the most steely-eyed competitor I have ever seen. His captaincy stance is different to all other Indian captains and is technically the best player in the world.”
