Babar Azam

Pakistan defeated the West Indies by eight wickets in the second Test at Queen’s Park Oval to level the series. The visitors chased a target of 75, with Babar Azam and Abdullah Shafique guiding the win. Pakistan’s spinners, Sajid Khan and Ali Usman, played pivotal roles in the victory.

Pakistan's spinners dominated as West Indies collapsed to 103 for six, with Abdullah Shafique's unbeaten 160 and Sajid Khan's four wickets putting Pakistan in a strong position for a series-levelling victory. West Indies' Jomel Warrican took six wickets in Pakistan's first innings, but Pakistan's bowlers secured key wickets, including Roston Chase caught-and-bowled. Brandon King was stretchered off with back spasms after dismissing Babar Azam.

West Indies defeated Pakistan by 90 runs in the first Test of a two-match series in Trinidad. Pakistan collapsed to 120 all out chasing 211, with Jayden Seales taking five for 20. Pakistan faces a second Test in Port of Spain after four consecutive defeats.

Pakistan is set to tour England in May 2027 for a five-match ODI series, with matches scheduled in Southampton, Manchester, Leeds, Chester-le-Street, and Cardiff. The series aims to prepare both teams for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 and follows Pakistan’s upcoming Test series in England in August 2027. Pakistan currently ranks fifth in the ICC Men’s ODI rankings, while England is seventh.

Babar Azam has been appointed captain of Pakistan's Test squads for upcoming tours in West Indies and England. The squads include 16 and 17 players respectively, with four uncapped players named for both series.

Arafat Minhas took five wickets on his ODI debut and hit the winning runs as Pakistan defeated an under-strength Australia by five wickets in a one-day international. Pakistan scored 202-5 to overcome Australia's 200, with Babar Azam and Ghazi Ghori contributing key runs. Australia was without top bowlers Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Adam Zampa due to the Indian Premier League and injuries.
