"We are on the right track" - Babar Azam after Pakistan whitewash Bangladesh in T20I series 

Pakistan captain Babar Azam has credited his side's inspiring teamwork for their stunning clean sweep against hosts Bangladesh in the recently concluded three-match T20I series.

Discussing his team's terrific performance after the final fixture, the superstar batter mentioned how every member of the Pakistan side is aware of their roles. The strategy has paid dividends for them in their recent assignments, according to Babar Azam.

The right-hander recently surpassed veteran batter Mohammad Hafeez to become the leading run-scorer for Pakistan in T20Is. However, Babar Azam had a quiet series with the bat, as he could only muster 27 runs from his 3 appearances.

The 27-year-old feels that a form slump is part and parcel of the game. Babar Azam added that he intends to take positives from the series, despite his own underwhelming outings. He also recognized contributions from the likes of Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman and Khushdil Shah and lauded them for stepping up.

Babar Azam also assured fans that the team is on the right track. Pakistan will now shift their focus to red-ball cricket when they lock horns against Bangladesh in a two-match Test series. Azam is keen to capitalize on the momentum they are carrying. He said:

"The management and I have assigned specific roles for everyone and the players have been executing their plans nicely. Everyone expects me to do well. Unfortunately, that didn't happen this time. I always try to perform in every game, but there are always ups and downs in cricket. This teaches you that it is important to remain positive all the time. We are on the right track and will look to carry the same momentum in Test matches as well."
