141 overs lost: Babar suggests 'pink' solution for Pakistan's winter Test problem
The opening Test was repeatedly interrupted by bad light, forcing players to leave the field before the scheduled close of play on most days.
Mike Hesson is defending Babar Azam after the first Test against Sri Lanka at Rawalpindi ended in a draw. Hesson believes Babar's scores are not as bad as critics suggest and attributes the poor performances to the pitch conditions. He points out that Babar has averaged over 50 in Test cricket this year, which is the highest among players with 10 innings.
Hesson warns that if the conditions are flat, Babar's batting could improve significantly. Babar has not scored a Test century in the last 42 innings, which is the primary concern among critics.
