Babar Azam Back As Captain As Pakistan Face New Zealand In World Cup Build-Up

By AFP News April 17, 2024 • 00:29 AM View: 1614

Babar Azam makes his return as Pakistan captain in a five-match Twenty20 series starting Thursday against an understrength New Zealand with the World Cup weeks away.

Azam regained the captaincy last month in a shock U-turn that ended the short-lived reign of Shaheen Shah Afridi, raising fears of a rift between the players.
