While speaking during a virtual press conference on Monday, thewicketkeeper-batsman said that Pakistan team will be more competitive inthe presence of Babar, bearing in mind that the latter is returning to theside after missing the New Zealand tour due to injury.
“One of their main players Babar Azam will be back so it’s going to be adifferent team as compared to the one in New Zealand. They will be a verycompetitive side in their home conditions,” said De Kock.
“In the last couple of years, Babar has shown that he is top-class and hasdone well in all formats all around the world. He seems to be only gettingbetter and better also as he goes on,” he added.
