Ex-ENG Cricketer Praises Mike Hesson's Handling of 'Undroppable' Babar Azam
•Former England captain Michael Vaughan lauded Mike Hesson for his smart handling of Babar Azam's inclusion in the Pakistan T20 World Cup squad despite poor form.
•Vaughan believes Hesson is using Babar as an 'insurance policy' at number four, especially on Sri Lankan pitches where 150-180 scores are common.
•Despite Babar's low strike rate, Vaughan considers him an asset for Pakistan, capable of scoring 160-170, and hopes other batters will play around him.
•Vaughan stated he would 'never want to go and be an overseas coach in Pakistan' due to the political interference, citing Jason Gillespie's experience.
•Babar Azam has faced criticism for his consistent inclusion in the T20 World Cup XI despite a string of low scores and a dismal Big Bash League performance.
