Babar Azam meets Australia's leading power-hitting coach
Young has also worked with Marnus Labuschagne and Glenn Maxwell in the past
LAHORE: Pakistan’s white-ball captain Babar Azam met Australia's leading power-hitting coach Shannon Young on Thursday.
Azam and Young, who is in Pakistan on a private visit, met at a local cricket club in Lahore.
During the meeting, Azam spoke exclusively to Young on power-hitting.
It must be noted that Australia's new opener Jake Fraser-McGurk gives all the credit for his power-hitting to Young.
Young has also worked with Marnus Labuschagne and Glenn Maxwell in the past.
Earlier today, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Mohsin Naqvi, stated that former cricketers will decide the future of Azam as the white-ball captain of the national side.
However, Naqvi didn’t specify who those former cricketers would be.
"There is, however, no decision taken so far related to Babar Azam," the top cricket official, who also serves as the country's interior minister, told reporters in Lahore.
"I'm only speaking to those former cricketers who are interested in the betterment of Pakistan cricket," he added.
Naqvi also said that one former cricketer, without revealing the name, has already shared a detailed report on Pakistan cricket's shortcomings.
Pakistan had failed to qualify for the Super 8 round of the recently-concluded T20 World Cup 2024 after humiliating losses against India and the United States.
“People are asking about surgery but one should not take any decision while you are angry. Hasty decisions can prove to be harmful more often than not,” Naqvi responded when asked about his earlier remarks about a major surgery in Pakistan cricket.
