Why did Pakistan put the batter outside the playing XI?
Later, the skipper of Pakistan’s Test team, Shan Masood, informed the media that it was a late call made by the team to put Babar out of the match. The team management did not want to take a risk on him, so they decided to keep him outside of the match.
“Babar had arrived in Bangladesh on Monday, just hours after leading Peshawar Zalmi to the Pakistan Super League title. He trained with the squad for two days without any visible discomfort, but woke up with pain in his left knee on Thursday morning. The medical team subsequently decided to withdraw him from contention for the first Test,” The Indian Express reported on May 8.
