Babar Azam returns to T20 team
Sports Desk, New Delhi. T20 World Cup-2026 is starting from 7th of next month under the joint hosting of India and Sri Lanka. Before this big tournament, Pakistan has to play a three-match T20 series against Australia. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced its team for this series. Babar Azam has returned to this team.
Babar was being kept away from Pakistan's T20 setup. The reason for this is his slow strike rate in this format, but with the place he got in the series against Australia, he will once again try to strengthen the team's batting edge.
