“(Shoaib) Malik is young, learning and needs strong support. Unfortunately, Lawson is new to international cricket and is in a learning phase. Malik needs someone experienced to back and support him, ” the Dawn quoted Inzamam, as saying.

“I think we need to be patient with Malik and give him reasonable time to adjust to his new role as captain. Captaining the side in Twenty20 cricket and Test matches are two totally different things and Malik will learn that with time, ” he added.
