Naqvi acknowledged Pakistan's former captain Babar Azam, saying, "Babar Azam is our asset. Players like Babar Azam come after a long time into the national team."
He added "I have not asked anybody to include or drop any player in the team. I have never interfered in matters pertaining to the team selection."
Naqvi said: "If the team emerges victorious by putting up a fight, then the credit will be gone to the entire unit."
