Babar Returns for Pakistan’s Match Against Australia

Babar Azam has been retained in Pakistan’s T20 squad for the upcoming series against Australia, aiming to improve after a disappointing Big Bash League season with the Sydney Sixers. He scored only 202 runs at a strike rate of 103.06, with one notable half-century, while teammate Steve Smith praised his presence in the team. The squad also features returning pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi, with notable omissions like Haris Rauf. The matches will serve as crucial preparations for the T20 World Cup starting February 7.
