Pakistan cricket's mainstay Babar Azam has been rested for the remaining Test matches against England, a decision announced on Monday. Despite Babar's willingness to play, the selection committee opted to refresh the team dynamics.
The alteration follows a landslide defeat by an innings and 47 runs from England in Multan, with a staggering 823-7 declared. Coaches believe a change was necessary to revive Pakistan’s performance.
