Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting also chimed in, stating that Azam’s best form with the bat and as a skipper is still ahead of him. Despite Azam winning the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC Cricketer of the Year for the first time and ODI Cricketer of the Year for the second straight year, Ponting believes there is still room for improvement in Azam’s game. Nonetheless, he praised Azam’s ability to perform consistently across all three formats of the game over the last few years.

Azam, on the other hand, said that Ponting’s comments were a confidence booster for him. According to him, positive remarks from a legendary player like Ponting add to his confidence and motivate him to be better. Azam understands that players who have been through similar stages, like Ponting, have knowledge of the game and can offer valuable insights. He tries to take these comments in a positive way and strives to produce his best.
