Babar had missed the opening Test at Headingley after injuring the middle finger of his right hand in the three-day practice game against Professional County Club Select XI. Before the fresh blow, the skipper had also injured his finger in the West Indies Test.
As reported by the Pakistani cricket correspondent Abu Bakar Tarar, Babar was the first player to walk into the nets during Tuesday’s practice session at Lord’s from the touring contingent. He took part in an intense training session as the team prepared for the Lord’s Test.
The right-handed batter also worked hard during fielding drills and spent extra time practicing his throws. These drills allowed him to test the movement, strength, and overall response of his injured hand. The latest training session has suggested that Babar is close to full fitness.

However, Babar’s availability for the Lord’s Test will depend on the team management and medical staff. Yet, his possible return could provide the batting line-up with much-needed experience and confidence as they look to level the Test series against England at Lord’s.
Stuart Broad demands Babar Azam’s return for Lord’s Test
Broad said on the podcast ‘For The Love Of Cricket,' “Babar has to. He nearly did, as you know. He got ruled out the day before and was declared out of the Test match. Then he walked down those stairs from the changing room, fully kitted up in his whites, with his jacket and Pakistan cap, at toss time.”

Broad signed off by saying, “I was at the bottom of the stairs, and we had an awkward handshake. You know, what do they call those ones instead of the normal handshake? I don't know. It's a minefield. That's the modern handshake. We had a modern handshake.”
