Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is hopeful of new coach Gary Kirsten bringing positives to the side ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. In the latest series of overhauls executed by PCB, the Men in Green got a new coach who is none other than former India coach Kirsten. Babar claims that the Proteas star has been discussing the strategy for the marquee event with the team management, despite being a part of IPL as LSG’s coach.
