Sports- Shocking news for the Pakistani fans of Babar Azam
Shares
Pakistan's premier batsman, Babar Azam, has fallen out of the top 10 in the ICC Test rankings for the first time in five years. This decline marks a significant shift for Azam, who had previously slipped to the 9th position from 6th due to ongoing struggles in the red-ball format.
His recent performances in a two-match home series against Bangladesh contributed to this further drop, where he failed to make a notable impact.
In the recently concluded series, Babar managed to score just 64 runs across four innings, a disappointing outcome that coincided with Pakistan's surprising 2-0 whitewash loss at home. As a result, Pakistan has also dropped to No. 8 in the latest ICC Test Rankings.
Babar Azam's difficulties in Test cricket have been apparent for some time. He has not scored a century since December 2022 and has struggled to reach even a half-century in his last 16 innings in the red-ball format.
