Lahore: Pakistan captain Babar Azam thinks that there should not be many changes in the upcoming series against South Africa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Babar has backed his troops and is confident that his team will perform better in the Test and T20I series against Proteas, scheduled to start from January 26.<\/p>\n

“The side is excited for the series against South Africa. South Africa is a quality side and it will be a very important series for us. We will go positive against South Africa,” Babar said while talking\u00a0to reporters in Lahore on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“It is crucial to back the team during difficult times and not judge on the basis of one bad series. To build a team, players need to be given consistent opportunities,” he added.<\/p>\n

Babar expressed disappointment in missing the matches against New Zealand due to an injury on his right thumb.<\/p>\n

“It was painful for me not to play against New Zealand as the team needed me badly, however, I have been practicing for two days now after completely recovering from the injury. I’ll be in action against South Africa,” he revealed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0Babar also opined regarding Mohammad Amir\u2019s retirement from international cricket and shared the reason why he was dropped from the team.<\/p>\n

“Amir’s performance was not the same as before. Now if his performance improves, selectors will definitely consider his return and talk to him,” he concluded.<\/p>\n
