Vaughan Lauds Hesson's 'Insurance Policy' Strategy for Babar Azam
•Former England skipper Michael Vaughan praised Mike Hesson for his smart use of Babar Azam in the T20 World Cup 2026.
•Vaughan believes Hesson uses Babar as an 'insurance policy' at number four, especially when two wickets fall, due to political reasons preventing his drop.
•He noted that Sri Lankan wickets, with scores between 150-180, are perfect for Babar, helping Pakistan reach 160-170.
•Vaughan, however, feels Babar isn't suited for high-scoring matches (200-210 runs).
•While admiring Hesson's handling of the situation, Vaughan suggests it might not offer Pakistan the best chance to win the World Cup.
