The all-rounder advocates for a fair distribution of bowling responsibilities, emphasizing his suitability as an ODI bowler and his desire to complete his full quota of 10 overs.

Pakistan Team Director Mohammad Hafeez says Babar Azam has made immense contributions to Pakistan as a batsman as removal of captaincy duties will release pressure from him.

The national team's opening batsman, Imam-ul-Haq, is set to exchange vows on November 25, generating excitement in the cricketing community.

 Fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani has been deemed unfit to bowl, prompting the PCB to send him to the National Cricket Academy for rehabilitation, with hopes for a swift recovery.

The squad will assemble in Rawalpindi on 22 November for a training camp ahead of the tour.

Imad Wasim calls this decision as “tough call” and the same has been backed by Mohammad Amir regarding inclusion of Babar Azam for the shorter format of the game.

The Pakistan skipper says he is there to support the new captain and the team with his experience and dedication.

The sources say that in light of recent controversies surrounding leaked WhatsApp messages, Babar Azam is reported to be considering legal action.

The latest reports say that the decision hinges on Babar's choice to resign voluntarily; otherwise, the PCB will remove him from the role.

Shahid Afridi, instead of condemning or intervening in Razzaq's remarks, was observed responding with laughter and applause.
