Babar Azam’s holiday! After Bangladesh, the names of T20 squad also missing against the West Indies; Will not play T20 World Cup?

Babar Azam Career: Babar Azam has not got a place in the team for the T20 series against the West Indies, which has raised questions on his T20 future.

Babar Azam T20 Career: Pakistan cricket team is currently going through a change, where an attempt is being made to prepare a new team keeping in mind the T20 World Cup 2026. Taking a big step in this direction, the selectors have handed over the captaincy of the T20 team to Salman Ali Agha, while many experienced players have been shown the way out of the squad.

The most shocking name is once again Babar Azam, who has not been given a place in the team for the upcoming T20 series against the West Indies. After being kept out of the T20 team continuously, there has been speculation about Babur’s T20 career.

Babar Azam’s leave from T20 cricket?

While Shaheen Afridi has returned to the team for the T20 series against the West Indies, Babar Azam was not once again included in the squad. Earlier, he was also ignored in the T20 series against Bangladesh.

Pakistan’s batting on Bangladesh tour was not able to perform a special performance, so Babar Azam was being seen as an alternative as an experienced batsman. But despite this, not giving them a chance indicates that the selectors are no longer considering Babur as involved in the T20 World Cup 2026 plan.

Why Babar Azam out?

After being out of the group stage in the T20 World Cup 2024, the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to prepare a new team keeping in mind the future. However, the total T20 International career of Babar Azam has been very impressive. He has so far scored 4233 runs at an average of 39.84, which is a great figure for any batsman. However, his record in the T20 World Cup is extremely poor. Babur has played two T20 World Cups so far, in which he has scored a total of 246 runs at an average of 24 and a strike rate of 97.
