Eng vs Pak: Ahead of 2nd Test, Atherton defends Azhar Ali

By Shubham Shah August 12, 2020 • 19:55 PM View: 1043

AUG 12, NEW DELHI: Former England cricketer Michael Atherton has come to the aid of under-fire Pakistan captain Azhar Ali ahead of the second Test starting Thursday at the Ageas Bowl.

Azhar came under immense scrutiny after Pakistan lost the first Test from a winning position to go 0-1 down in the three-match series. Atherton, however, urged Azhar not to think about the criticism but rather focus on the positives from the Manchester Test.
