Azam remarked that being listed alongside the greatest players in the history of the sport is an honour for him.
“When your name is included in the list of contemporary greats, that gives you confidence,” said Babar.
“The aim is to try and perform well in every game as the team expects me to deliver them a win,” he added.
The right-hander also discussed his leadership roles in all game forms.
“By the grace of Allah, I have honed my man-management skills and learned a lot of things,” he concluded.
