Former captain of Pakistan cricket team Babar Azam has been dismissed on the score of ‘Zero’. The Pak team is currently on a West Indies tour, where the second ODI match was played between them on August 10. Babar Azam could not even open his account in this ODI match. In this match played at Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad, Pakistan got the first batting invitation, in which Babur came to bat on number-3, but he was out on the score of ‘0’ by playing 3 balls.

Babar Azam came to batting when opener Sam Job was dismissed for 23 runs in the 9th over. By this time, Pakistan’s score was 37/1. Jayden had taken Job’s wicket on the third ball of the seals over and after three balls he made Babar Azam clean. This is the fifth time in the career of 130 ODI innings when Babur was out without opening an account.

Return to Asia Cup squad is difficult

The Asia Cup 2025 is going to begin soon, which will start from 9 September and will run till 28 September. This tournament is to be played in T20 format, but Babur has been kept out of the Pak team from the last four T20 series. On the one hand, Babar Azam will be expecting a return to the T20 team, but being dismissed on the score of ‘0’ will not prove to be at all helpful in impressing the selectors.

Spinners overturned

Mohammad Nawaz took three wickets for only 23 runs in four overs and broke the back of the Caribbean middle order.

All -rounder Saim Ayub took two wickets while performing brilliantly in bowling after batting.

Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi took one wicket for 27 runs in 4 overs.

West Indies again collapsed expectations

Pakistan vs West Indies ODI 2025: The future of ODI cricket is in crisis, Pakistan and West Indies can take a decision that can have a direct impact on ODI format. Just a few weeks ago, the Champions Trophy is over, in which India registered a historic victory. In fact, in August, the Pakistan team has to visit the Caribbean, where both teams have to play 3 T20 and three ODIs. It is now reported that by canceling this ODI series, more matches can be added to the T20 series.

Pakistan’s Caribbean tour will begin on August 1. According to the Cricket Pakistan website, the Cricket Board of Pakistan and West Indies is considering converting the ODIs to be held on 8, 10 and 12 August into T20 matches. The report claimed that the purpose of converting ODIs into T20 may be preparations for the upcoming T20 tournaments. The Asia Cup is to be played in 2025, while the T20 World Cup is to be held next year. It was claimed that by increasing the number of T20 matches, both teams will be able to prepare a better squad for the upcoming tournaments.

Pakistan has made changes before

If it is agreed to convert ODIs between Pakistan and West Indies into T20, then this will not be happening for the first time. In the same year, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had also offered to convert ODIs into T20 in front of Bangladesh. Although initially it was agreed between the two sides, but later the T20 series was taken action. Since the 2027 ODI World Cup is still 2 years away, very few ODIs can be held before the 2026 T20 World Cup.
