Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam has returned to Lahore after a brief trip to the United States. He arrived in the city via Dubai, where he was received at the airport by his brother and cousin.
Stopover in the USA
Following Pakistan’s recent international commitments in the West Indies, Babar made a short stopover in the USA before heading back home. His visit abroad drew attention from fans and cricket circles, especially given the current discussions surrounding his absence from the national side.
Teammates Already Back Home
Members of Pakistan’s ODI squad had already returned to the country in groups over the past few days. Unlike his teammates, Babar took some additional time before rejoining his family in Lahore.
Out of the T20 Squad
Babar Azam has been in the headlines recently due to his exclusion from Pakistan’s T20 squad. The selectors did not include him in the lineup for the upcoming Tri-Nation Series and the Asia Cup, a decision that has sparked debate among fans and cricket experts.
What’s Next for Babar?
While Babar Azam remains one of Pakistan’s most celebrated cricketers, his omission from the shorter format has raised questions about the team’s future plans. Many analysts believe he could still play a key role in the ODI setup and possibly make a comeback in T20 cricket ahead of major tournaments.
