Kamran Akmal had recently asked for Babar Azam to be dropped from all white-ball formats, but made a massive U-turn after the former Pakistan captain was not included in the squad for Asia Cup 2025.

Pakistan pacer Tanvir Ahmed has advised Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan to retire like Virat Kohli after being dropped from Asia Cup 2025 only on CricTracker.

Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam has been told to improve his batting against spin and boost his overall strike rate to be considered for Twenty20 Internationals, coach Mike Hesson said.

Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam is urged to enhance his batting against spin and increase his strike rate for T20 International consideration. Despite being a pivotal figure in other formats, Azam hasn't played a T20I since last year's South Africa tour.

Former Pakistan bowler Tanveer Ahmed urged Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan to consider retiring if disrespected after Asia Cup snub, citing Virat Kohli.

When comparing the two, Babar Azam clearly has more experience and better numbers as a captain. However, the PCB has decided to invest in Salman Ali Agha as a long-term option, signaling a shift towards building a younger side. The Asia Cup 2025 will be the real test of whether this gamble pays off.

Star South Africa batter Dewald Brevis put in an excellent showing against Australia in the third T20I of the ongoing series. The star batter moved past Pakistan's Babar Azam in an alite list but fell just short of Virat Kohli.
