In a surprising turn of events, Pakistan’s star batter Babar Azam has crashed out of the top ten in the latest ICC Test Batting Rankings. The 28-year-old, who was once considered one of the best batsmen in the world, has dropped to 12th place with 712 points.
This significant downfall comes after a disappointing home series against Bangladesh, where Babar Azam scored only 64 runs in four innings. The series was a disaster for Pakistan, as they lost both matches, resulting in their lowest ICC Men’s Test Team Rankings since 1965.
Babar Azam’s poor form has been a concern for Pakistan cricket fans, and his downfall in the rankings is a reflection of his struggles on the field. The right-handed batter has been known for his consistency and ability to score big runs, but his recent performances have been below par.
On the other hand, Mohammad Rizwan is the highest-ranked Pakistan batter, holding the 10th position with 294 runs in the series against Bangladesh. Other Pakistani players like Salman Ali Agha and Shan Masood have also seen improvements in their rankings, while Saud Shakeel, Abdullah Shafique, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Abrar Ahmed have experienced declines.
The Pakistan cricket team’s poor performance in the series against Bangladesh has raised concerns about their preparation and strategy. The team’s batting lineup, which was once considered one of the strongest in the world, has been struggling to score runs.
