Ramiz Raja, representing the ICC Voting Academy, said of Azam’s success in April, “The world bats in two directions in white-ball cricket.” The Babar Azam way, like performing a batting symphony with punch, panache, and flair, is one way to smash attacks with muscle and power, and he deserves to receive this award.”
