Latest News about Babar Azam
Babar Azam withdrew from the National T20 Championship to focus on refining his batting ahead of the Pakistan Super League. Reports linked the decision to his recent national-team exclusion and form concerns, while also noting that he was expected to return for Peshawar Zalmi in PSL 11.
Babar Azam was omitted from Pakistan's 15-member ODI squad for the upcoming three-match series against Bangladesh. The move followed his poor T20 World Cup 2026 campaign, in which he scored 91 runs across four innings and was left out of a key Super 8 match.
Following Pakistan's ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 defeat to India, former Pakistan captain and coach Mohammad Yousaf publicly urged Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Shadab Khan to retire from T20 internationals. His comments came after Babar scored five runs in the match, and they sparked renewed debate about whether Pakistan should rebuild its T20 side around new players. The reporting also noted that former players criticized Babar's recent form and suitability for the modern T20 game.
