Babar is out of Pakistan team
Actually, Babar is away from cricket these days. He has not been seen on the field since the Pakistan team’s exit from the T20 World Cup 2026. The team’s national selector Aaqib Javed had recently told in the press conference that Babar is out due to injury. For this reason, he was not selected for the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh and he also remained out of the National T20 Cup 2026.

Doubt about Babar’s fitness
No official update has come yet regarding Babar’s fitness. Neither the selection committee nor Babar himself has made it clear by when he will be fully fit. In such a situation, fans are eagerly waiting for his return.

Peshawar will captain Zalmi
Meanwhile, it is expected that Babar will return to the field soon. He will be seen captaining Peshawar Zalmi in the 11th season of the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL). This tournament will be played from March 26 to May 3, where all eyes will be on Babar’s performance.

Babar Azam is counted among the most reliable batsmen of Pakistan cricket and his absence is considered a big drawback for the team. In such a situation, PSL 11 can prove to be a big platform for his comeback. Fans hope that he will soon become fit and once again be seen scoring runs in his old style.

Currently, this cooking video of his has become a special gift for his fans on the occasion of Eid, which shows that apart from cricket, Babar has many interesting aspects.
