DHAKA: Pakistan’s star batter Babar Azam has been ruled out of the opening Test match against Bangladesh after sustaining a knee injury.
The two-match Test series is scheduled to begin tomorrow in Mirpur, Dhaka.
Key details regarding the situation include:
The team management confirmed that Babar Azam will miss the first Test due to a knee injury.
Medical staff are currently evaluating the extent of the damage, and further updates on his recovery will be shared later.
Following the Mirpur opener, the second and final Test of the series is set to take place in Sylhet starting on May 16.
