Analysis: Babar Azam’s repeated dismissals linked to coaching failures, says Yusuf

An analysis by former Pakistan batting coach Mohammad Yusuf connected Babar Azam’s string of similar outs to a broader coaching shortfall. Since the end of 2022, Babar has approached the hundred mark several times but has been caught out in a comparable fashion – a trend noted by commentators and now confirmed by Yusuf. He pointed out that the coaching staff allowed the issue to persist, despite early alerts about the problem. Yusuf contended that the unchecked technical flaw has not only hampered Babar’s individual record but also contributed to Pakistan’s poor run of nine defeats out of ten recent Test matches.
