Prior to the ICC Champions Trophy, Pakistan is organizing a tri -series in its home. Apart from Pakistan, teams from New Zealand and South Africa will participate in this series. The first match of this tri -series will be played between hosts Pakistan and New Zealand at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on 8 February, for which Pakistan's team is preparing fiercely. In such a situation, the Pakistan Cricket Board organized an Intra-Squad match for its players. Azam's bad condition was seen outside in this match.

Shaheen Afridi killed Babur

Intra-Squad match Pakistan players were divided into 2 teams. Pakistan star player Babar Azam and fast bowler Shaheen Afridi were face to face. But Shaheen Afridi killed Babar Azam in the very first over of the match. A video related to this match is becoming quite viral on social media. It can be seen in this video that Shaheen failed to play Babur at a high speed ball of Afridi.

The ball went straight to Babur's pad and Shaheen Afridi made a sharp appeal. The umpire also appeared to agree with Shaheen Afridi's appeal and Babar Azam lost his wicket in the first over. After this, Shaheen Afridi was also seen celebrating this wicket. Somewhere Babur's early dismissal in the intra-skavad match is a danger bell for Pakistan. Actually, Pakistan has to participate in the ICC Champions Trophy after this tri -series and Babur is one of the important players of his team.

Babur is craving for a big innings

Let me tell you, Babar Azam is one of the most successful players of Pakistan in ODIs. But for some time, he has been struggling to score runs in this format. Babar Azam has not scored a single century in ODIs since 2023. Last year too, he played 6 ODIs. But he could cross the 50 -run figure only 2 times. Earlier in the ODI World Cup 2023, he could not do anything special and left the captaincy after the team's poor performance in the tournament.
