Babar Azam Falls from ICC Test Top 10: First time in Over 4.5 Years

Pakistan Test Cricket Troubles: Babar Azam Struggles and Team Decline

For the first time in five years, Babar Azam, the leading batsman for Pakistan, finds himself outside the top 10 of the ICC Test rankings. This notable drop follows a series of disappointing performances in a recent Test series against Bangladesh.

In this series, which was held at home, Babar performance was underwhelming, as he could only muster 64 runs across four innings. Consequently, this poor showing has significantly impacted his standing in the rankings.

Additionally, Pakistan overall performance in the series has been troubling. The team suffered a surprising 2-0 defeat at home, which has led to a drop in the ICC Test Team Rankings. Currently, Pakistan stands in eighth place, marking their lowest ranking since 1965. This downturn highlights a major setback for the team.

Babar Azam difficulties in Test cricket have been evident. His last century was scored in December 2022, and he has been unable to achieve a fifty in his last 16 innings. This lack of form has not only affected his personal ranking but has also played a role in the team’s decline in the Test rankings.
