For Pakistan, the Champions Trophy 2025 offers the world the opportunity to show that it still has to be counted among the top teams. The word “success” has recently been missing from Pakistani dictionary. Coupled with frequent captains, coaches and selector changes, a string of poor World Cup shows have crossed the format and left the team unsettling. Please injure me Saim AyubPakistan’s first choice opener, and things don’t look bright.
Pakistan needs to pull something special from the hat if it repeats the show that won the 2017 Champions Trophy in the 2025 edition. With that in mind, Pakistan may stand up for some interesting gambling. Captain Mohammad Rizwan hinted at it Babar Azam Opens for the Champions Trophy Pakistan. Former Pakistani captain Babar Azam’s usual position is no. 3.
After being asked to reveal the Pakistani opener in the Champions Trophy, Rizwan responded in a cheeky way.
“Iske jawaab mein woh baat ki thi na, ‘King Kar rega. (The answer is that there was a line that says, “The king would do that.”)
Babar’s record in No. 3 is good. He averages 60.17 and has 5,416 runs, but his opening numbers are poor. He scored 26 runs in just two innings.
According to a report from PTI, the Pakistani selector may have taken clues from Indian cricket behind the idea that Babar Azam was opened in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. The Indian batting maestro began opening innings with 69 matches ordered. His first match as an opener was against New Zealand in Auckland in 1994. , Rest was history.
“The day after Syme was injured, it was revealed that he would be out of cricket for at least two months.
“The selector told Babar that he had already opened a lot in T20 cricket and could emulate what Tendulkar did as an opener.”
Incidentally, the discussion was held at the same time. Shan Masood They had to open in the Cape Town test due to Syme’s injuries, and they too had a big partnership.
“After thinking that Babar agreed to the challenge, Babar,” the source added.
