Babar Azam Skips Championship to Fix Batting Woes
11 Mar
Summary
- Babar Azam withdraws from National T20 Championship.
- Focus is on correcting batting technique flaws before PSL.
- He previously skipped first-class games due to form issues.
Babar Azam, a former Pakistan captain, has withdrawn from the ongoing National T20 Championship. His decision stems from a desire to focus on rectifying perceived flaws in his batting technique before the Pakistan Super League commences on March 26.
Azam's recent form has seen a decline since 2024, leading to his exclusion from certain matches, including a T20 World Cup fixture. He has reportedly been working with unnamed coaches to improve his batting. This move follows his absence from two first-class games last year, despite struggling form at the time.
He is slated to open the batting for Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL. Azam has not played domestic cricket outside of the PSL since 2020, highlighting his selective participation in the domestic circuit.
