Meanwhile, Babar Azam has been dropped from the Test squad of Pakistan Cricket Team. Azam is not playing the ongoing second Test match against England. Management and the selection committee say that Babar Azam has been ‘rested’ for the series. Other than him, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Muhammad Rizwan have been dropped from the team.
Azam has been struggling with his performances in all formats for more than two years now. He confronted several upheavals in his cricketing career in this time period. He was removed from captaincy but was later restored. The cricketer, however, resigned from the captaincy of the white ball format a few weeks ago.
