Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is close to the runs scored by India’s star players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in T20I cricket.
Babar is currently the third-highest run-scorer in T20I cricket with 3,823 in 107 innings. He is behind the Indian duo of Kohli and Rohit.
Kohli is the leading run-scorer in T20I cricket with 4,037 in 109 innings, while, India skipper Rohit has 3,974 runs in 143 innings.
Babar could surpass the duo in Pakistan’s upcoming T20I tour of Ireland and England. Last week, Pakistan announced the T20I squad for their upcoming series against Ireland and England. Their series will play a crucial role in their preparations for the T20 World Cup which is slated to begin in June in the USA and the West Indies.
Star Men in Green pacer Haris Rauf returned to the squad after missing the recently concluded New Zealand series due to a shoulder injury.
Apart from Rauf, seamer Hasan Ali also made his comeback in the squad which will travel to Ireland and England for the 20-over series.
Pakistan’s Men’s National Selection Committee have included most of the players, who took part in the New Zealand series.
Salman Ali Agha was kept reserved during the recent series against the Black Caps but has made his place in the 18-member squad.
