Pakistan captain and star batter Babar Azam is set to make his return to first-class cricket after a seven-year absence.
The decision comes after Babar’s disappointing run in the recent series against England, where he managed just 97 runs in four innings. The star batter will now turn his focus to domestic cricket as he prepares to represent OGDCL in the President’s Trophy.
Babar was not initially included in the squad but was later added following a special request from the Pakistan Cricket Board. Having recently returned from the UK, he is expected to feature in OGDCL’s second match of the tournament.

Representing KRL, Shaheen made an impressive comeback, scoring 47 runs and taking four wickets in the first innings.
