Pakistani cricket has witnessed a rapid rise under the captaincy of Babar Azam and he along with his opening partner Mohammad Rizwan have broken numerous records, especially in T20Is when they bat together. Their last two T20 WC campaigns have been proof of them being one of the best teams in world cricket once again as they reached the semi-finals in 2021 and finished runners up in 2022.
The Pakistan cricket team is currently practicing in Islamabad ahead of their three-match Test series vs England, scheduled to begin from December 1.
