I’ve been wondering about this — why is Babar Azam not featuring in the opening round of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, when players like Mohammad Rizwan, Agha Salman, Sajid Khan, and Hasan Ali are all playing?
Since the end of the PSL back in May, Babar has only played 3 ODIs vs West Indies over a span of nearly 4.5 months. For a player of his stature, that’s a surprisingly low workload.
What makes it more surprising is that his last outing in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was in 2019. That means fans and domestic followers haven’t seen him in this competition for three years now.
Other centrally contracted players like Rizwan continue to play domestic cricket regularly. Agha Salman is grinding in red-ball games, Sajid Khan and Hasan Ali are also taking part — so why not Babar?
