Babar Azam - In fact, the Pakistan cricket team is continuously performing disappointing in the Asia Cup these days. After 2 consecutive defeats against India, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has started rethinking the team's strategy. In such a situation, the biggest issue is the absence of Babar Azam in the team, which the board has now taken seriously. So, according to sources, PCB has decided that Babar Azam may return to the team in the T20I series against the upcoming South Africa.

Why was Babar Azam not chosen?

Let me tell you that Babar Azam last played T20 International against South Africa in December. And then he was not included in the team since then. In fact, the selectors believed that Babur's strike rate is low according to the needs of the team and giving new talents a chance would benefit Pakistan. Moreover, head coach Mike Hessen and Aqib Javed, a member of the selection committee, were also supporters of this policy.

Asia Cup defeat changed the stand

However, the continuous defeat in the Asia Cup has shocked PCB's thinking. But after losing twice against India, it became clear that Pakistan's batting lineup is inexperienced and unbalanced. Therefore, this is the reason why PCB officials immediately ordered that Babar Azam should be included in the team.

In fact, a few days ago it was decided that Babar Azam should be sent to the Asia Cup running in UAE, but the organizers made it clear that the squad can change only when a player is injured. Due to this, Babar Azam could not join the Asia Cup, but now he has almost agreed to his return.

Confusion over captaincy and position

At the same time, after the return of Babar Azam (Babar Azam), the question also arises on which position he will bat. Actually, will he open as before or will he land on number three or four? In such a situation, sources say that no decision has been taken on this yet. Also, the position of captain Salman Ali Aga will also depend on his Asia Cup performance. And if their game affects, PCB can also consider changing captaincy.

Babar Azam's records

The figures of Babar Azam prove that how important it is for Pakistan's T20 team.

• Actually, he is the fastest batsman to score 5,000 ODI runs (in just 97 innings).
• Moreover, he has scored 4,223 runs in T20I so far, which is the second highest in the world after Rohit Sharma.
• Not only this, the name of Babar Azam is the second of the highest half -centuries in T20I cricket.
• Apart from this, he has proved to be a troubleshooter for Pakistan many times and has been working to give stability.
  

Inner politics in PCB

In such a situation, sources say that a powerful member of the selection committee takes a negative attitude to Babar Azam. He also believes that he has ended the domination of Babar Azam. But the current situation of the regret team is making it clear that ignoring the experience is proving harmful for Pakistan.
