Pakistan stalwart Babar Azam is enduring a rough patch and is under immense pressure to deliver, especially after Pakistan’s dismal group-stage exit from the Champions Trophy 2025. Babar is struggling not just in international matches but also during net sessions. The Pakistan star appears low on confidence and uncertain with the bat, as bowlers continue to find ways to trouble him. A similar instance was witnessed in the nets ahead of the ODI series against New Zealand.

Pakistan and New Zealand are currently involved in a five-match T20I series in New Zealand. Notably, Babar Azam was left out of Pakistan’s T20I squad for the NZ T20Is but has been included for the three-match ODI series that will follow.

No disrespect but Babar is completely blind against off spin. . . . Front foot and back foot. . . It isn't that difficult but idk what coaches do. . . https://t.co/9hAlIsYWyi

Babar had a disappointing run in the Champions Trophy 2025, which was hosted on home soil. Despite showing glimpses of form, he failed to make a significant impact, with Pakistan finishing at the bottom of Group A without a single win.
