Mumbai Mumbai. In another blow to Pakistan cricket, Pakistan Cricket Board has announced the new list of central contracts and teams for the upcoming series. In a shocking turn of events, Pakistan cricket star Babar Azam has been dropped from both Pakistan's ODI and T20 squads against Zimbabwe. This means there will be no more 'Zimbabwe' and whatever runs Babar Azam was scoring will now be gone. The good thing is that the cricket world has just seen what Pakistan can do without Babar, as they have just come off a Test series win against England.
In a statement issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board, the board explained the reason behind removing Babar Azam from the series and banning Zimbabwe. “Babar Azam, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi, who were given a break from the last two Test matches against England, are back for the Australia matches but will be rested for the Zimbabwe tour. Similarly, Mohammad Rizwan He will be available for Australia's matches and Zimbabwe's ODI matches, but will be rested for Zimbabwe's T20 matches.
This approach follows the selectors' rotation policy and provides opportunities to domestic performers, which aligns with the team's strategy for the ICC Champions Trophy and beyond,” the statement issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board said.
