Babar Azam's removal from Pakistan's Test squad for the second match against England sent shockwaves across the cricketing fraternity.

Last year, under his leadership, the team was eliminated from the Asia Cup in the Super 4 stage following a two-wicket defeat by Sri Lanka in Colombo. A few months later, Pakistan's struggles continued, with the team failing to reach the knockout stage of the ODI World Cup in India.
