After the snub, there was speculation on social media that the current Pakistan white-ball head coach, Mike Hesson, has reportedly asked him to switch to a wicket-keeping role to earn back his place in the Pakistan national side.
Mike Hesson claimed that he did not have a word with Babar Azam while also revealing that he made no such suggestions to him. He added an insight, saying if Babar makes him come back into the Pakistan T20 side, it would be purely as an opening batsman.
Hesson also had a dig at rumours that he has claimed to oust all players in the Pakistan side who would be batting at a strike rate lower than 150. No such discussions have been made with the players, as suggested by the former Kiwi.
Mike Hesson confirms eyeing players with 'multiple roles'
The former Kiwi cricketer made a special mention supporting the claims that he has suggested the inclusion of more players who can take up multiple roles, rather than switching in just as a specialist batter or bowler.
“We are looking at players who are ready to float in the batting order and perform multiple roles, but that does not mean there will be no spot for specialist players,” said Hesson.
