The Pakistan National Cricket Team will be up against the England National Cricket Team for a three-match Test series. Ahead of the first game, which is scheduled to start on Wednesday at Headingley in Leeds, there is some bad news coming from the Pakistan camp as their recently appointed Test captain, Babar Azam, has been ruled out.
Babar Azam was re-appointed as the Test captain after the Men in Green had experienced a difficult phase, winning 4 and losing 12 of their 16 total matches under the leadership of Shan Masood. They were winless away from home for three long years, which was broken by Babar as his side won the second Test match against the West Indies National Cricket Team.
Babar Azam was ruled out of the first Test due to a hand injury he sustained in the right hand while batting in the second Test against the West Indies. He was heavily taped; however, in the same hand, the ball struck again during the warm-up match against the Professional County Club Select XI in Beckenham.
He went off retired hurt and did not feature in the remainder of the match. The Pakistan National Cricket Team medical staff was taking care of him, with the confirmed news of the Test captain ruling out coming on Tuesday evening from the team’s coach, Sarfaraz Ahmed. This is a massive blow for the side who just found momentum.

Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Sarfaraz said Babar is being assessed by the medical team, and he is currently experiencing pain and is not fit for the first game, and will be available from the second Test match at Lord’s.
“He is feeling pain, and the medical team is assessing him. Hopefully, he will be available for the second Test,” Sarfaraz said.
