Babar Azam gears up for Champions Trophy 2025:
Meanwhile, Babar Azam is all set to take up a new role as an opener in the impending Champions Trophy 2025 for Pakistan, reported PTI. The reason behind the big move was reportedly inspired by the success of India legend Sachin Tendulkar, who had shifted to the pole position from middle-order, added the report.
Citing the reason for this change, PTI quoted a source who said Aaqib Javed, senior selector and interim head coach of Pakistan, and fellow selectors had spoken to Babar about stepping in as opener once Saim Ayub was injured in a freak accident in the second Test against South Africa in Cape Town last month.
“A day after Saim got injured it became clear that he would be out of cricket for at least two months making him an unlikely starter for the Champions Trophy,” the source told PTI.
“The selectors told Babar they felt he could also emulate what Tendulkar had done as an opener as he had already opened a lot in T20 cricket,” he said.
