'Pakistan has more talent, can't compare them with Indian players': Abdul Razzaq
Karachi: Former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq on Thursday has refused to compare cricketers of India and Pakistan as he believes cricketers from Pakistan have more talent.
Razzaq in an interview to Cricket Pakistan said, “We should not say such a thing (compare Babar Azam with Virat Kohli). You can’t compare Indian players with Pakistan players because Pakistan has more talent”.
“If we look after him (Babar Azam) properly, he will go on to break all the records,” he stated.
Following the interview he further added, “if you look at our history, we have so many great players who we can draw comparisons with like Mohammad Yousuf, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Saeed Anwar, Javed Miandad, Zaheer Abbas and Ijaz Ahmed”.
He also pointed out that Indians do not draw comparisons between player from their country and Pakistan.
“Virat Kohli is a good player and he has performed well against Pakistan. I have nothing against him but if Indians don’t compare their players with Pakistan, then we shouldn’t do that as well,” he said.
Elaborating on his point, the former hard-hitting all-rounder said, both countries need to play together, if want to draw a fair comparison between Azam and Kohli.
“Virat Kohli and Babar Azam are completely different players. If we want to compare the two, then it’s important to hold matches between Pakistan and India and then judge who is a better player”.
Earlier on Wednesday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) released its updated ICC player’s rankings for T20Is according to which Babar Azam and Virat Kohli are the only players in the top 10 batsmen rankings in all three formats.
