Mike Hesson Backs Struggling Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman Ahead of Tri-Series Final

Pakistan head coach <b>Mike Hesson</b> has publicly backed senior batters <b>Babar Azam</b> and <b>Fakhar Zaman</b> ahead of the high-stakes ODI tri-series final against Sri Lanka. Despite their recent lean patches, Hesson remains optimistic about their potential to deliver when it matters most. While the team has managed three consecutive wins, the reliance on struggling veterans highlights a recurring issue in modern cricket: the reluctance to move past big names even when form deserts them. Relying on past glory rather than current consistency is a gamble that often backfires in championship deciders. Ultimately, the team's ability to clinch the trophy will depend on whether these stars finally justify their coach's unwavering faith on the big stage.
