In a recent episode of the ProSports Podcast, New Zealand cricketer Mark Chapman praised Pakistan’s star batter, Babar Azam, calling him “one of the best batters in the world.”
Chapman reflected on his interactions with Pakistani players, emphasizing the value of learning from Babar. He shared how their conversations, particularly about batting, have been insightful. “Sitting next to Babar for even an hour is an opportunity to gain knowledge. He’s up there with the best, and you’d be silly not to pick his brains,” Chapman said.
He also mentioned his growing friendship with Fakhar Zaman and Shadab Khan, recalling how they shared experiences during international tours and their time together in the Lanka Premier League (LPL). “It’s interesting how, despite coming from different worlds, we all play the same game,” Chapman added.
Chapman’s comments highlight the respect and camaraderie that can develop between players from different countries, where mutual learning and friendship play a key role.
