Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have been the backbone of the Pakistan national cricket team for the past few years. The duo has consistently scored runs for the team in all three formats of the game and are the main reason behind the team’s success.
Babar is expected to bat at No. 4 in the upcoming Test series against the Bangladesh national cricket team. On the other hand, Mohammad Rizwan will be fighting for his place in the team along with Sarfaraz Ahmed, who has performed well in the format.
It has been reported that the Pakistan national cricket team management has asked the officials to prepare the pitch for the first match. Therefore, Mohammad Rizwan is not expected to be ahead of Sarfaraz Ahmed in the starting XI for the first match.
Babar Azam will have something to prove in the Test series against Bangladesh
Ahead of the Test series against the Bangladesh national cricket team, many eyes will be on Babar Azam. The right-hander has been struggling to get going in the longest format of the game of late and would like to silence his critics.
Babar has also been under a lot of scrutiny since the 2024 T20 World Cup. Under his leadership, the team faced a group-stage exit and, on top of that, their form was not that great. The right-hander would want to make an impact in Test cricket and with the series being held at home, it will be a great opportunity for him to stage a comeback.
Babar Azam has not registered a single fifty in the longest format of the game since 2022. In the 10 innings he played last year, he scored just 204 runs and he also failed miserably in the Test series against Australia where he scored 103 runs at an average of 20.60 with a top score of 41 to his name.
