"I would have invested my entire budget to pick Babar Azam" James Anderson

31 March, 2023

In a podcast, the host asked fast bowler James Anderson why Babar Azam was not picked. Was it too expensive? In response to which the fast bowler said that he was surprised that Babar was not picked in the Hundred League, I would have offered double money to get Babar in the team and would have put my entire budget to pick him.

James Anderson said, "But I think there was a problem with Babar's availability due to which he could not be picked."

It should be noted that Babar Azam was not picked by any team in the Hundred League draft while Shaheen Afridi was the most expensive player picked from Pakistan.
