Will Babar Azam play in the Asia Cup 2025?

In the last Asia Cup, Pakistan’s captaincy was in the hands of Babar Azam. The last few months have not been good for Babur, this year Babur has not played any T20 international matches, PCB has been dropping them for a long time. In such a situation, it is very difficult to play Asia Cup. The ODI series against the West Indies, which ended on Wednesday, was also not good for Azam, he was dismissed for zero in the second match and 9 runs in the third match. Babar Azam could not score any half -century in the last 11 innings in T20. See Babur’s record in T20.

• Match: 128
• Innings: 121
• Run: 4223
• Most Score: 122
• Strike Rate: 129.22

• Half -century 36

Mohammad Rizwan is difficult to join the Asia Cup squad

Like Babur, former T20 captain Mohammad Rizwan has not played any T20 match this year, he has also been continuously dropping from this format. He too is very difficult to join the Asia Cup squad. Only after that the command of the T20 team was handed over to Salman Ali Aga, although the team lost the T20 series 2-1 to Bangladesh this year. See Mohammad Rizwan’s record of T20.

• Match: 106
• Innings: 93

Afridi can find a place, suspense remains on Fakhar Jaman

Veteran fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi can find a place in the Asia Cup squad. He specializes in swinging, on the day he goes, he can put any batting unit in trouble. Fakhar Jaman was injured in another T20 against West Indies, suspense remains on his playing.

Salman Aga (captain), Fakhar Jaman, Saim Ayub, Mohammad Haris (wicketkeeper), Hasan Nawaz, Sahibzada Farhan, Faheem Ashraf, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Nawaz, Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Sufiyam Mukim.
