LONDON – Pakistan’s batting coach Grant Flower believes that prolificbatsman Babar Azam has all the tools to emulate the career of Indianskipper Virat Kohli.

Flower praised the 24-year-old’s hunger to score runs and believes thebatsman has a bright future ahead.

“He’s got Virat’s hunger. I think he could be at some point in the future,”said Flower. “He’s definitely got that hunger, so if you practice as hardas he does, and you have his skills, I can’t see why he can’t get to thetop.”

The batting coach stated that Azam was a special talent and will be one ofthe greatest batsmen ever produced by Pakistan.
