Pakistan begin a fresh journey, under new captain Shan Masood, when  they take on Australia in the first Test in Perth on Wednesday. Shan Masood's first Test outing as a skipper has seen a plethora of changes in the squad with all-rounder Aamir Jamal and right-arm pacer Khurram Shahzad bound to make their Test debut. The other major change is that after a long time, Babar Azam will be seen as only a player. After Pakistan's poor outing at the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023, the signs were there that Babar Azam might be replaced as captain.It happened and several experts believe that this might benefit Babar Azam, the batter."Babar resigned, Shaheen became the captain of the T20I side. Shan Masood has been made the test captain. Mohammed Hafeez has been made the director of cricket and he is also the coach for the Australia Tour. Wahab Riaz is the chief selector. It's good in a was because they have just retired. They will bring in a different energy, new ideas," Wasim Akram said on Sportskeeda.Gautam Gambhir, who was part of the discussion, said that the world will see a new Babar Azam now."You will see a new Babar Azam now. I had said before the World Cup that he cane be the best batter. But there was the pressure of captaincy. Now, the world will see a new Babar Azam, a different Babar Azam," Gambhir said."I agree. I had a given this idea to Babar Azam a couple of years ago that don't do captaincy in league cricket. Big player, take your money, play your game, get runs, go home, and then to the next event," Wasim Akram said."Pakistan's captaincy is alright, but the league brings extra stress without any reason," said Akram, who previously worked with Babar at Karachi Kings.Then Gautam Gambhir added: "Babar Azam does not need to prove anything. Honestly, he will not get anything by winning PSL. He should go out there and become the best batter out there."After showcasing a good temperament in the recently concluded ODI World Cup, Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique will continue to open for Pakistan in the first Test against Australia.Former skipper Babar Azam will stay at his usual No. 4 spot, while, the spin duties have been entrusted to Salman Ali Agha in the absence of Abrar Ahmed.In the absence of Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf, the pace bowling will be spearheaded by Shaheen Afridi and supported by Faheem.Topics mentioned in this article

Star cricketer Babar Azam did not feature in Google's top trending searches in Pakistan for 2023 but Indian cricket team batter Shubman Gill found a place at No 8, according toGeo News. However, young Pakistan cricketers Abdullah Shafique and Saud Shakeel along with the emerging talent Haseebullah Khan featured in the list. Pakistan Super League sensation Usman Khan also found a place in the most searched individuals in Pakistan. Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was the other cricketer to make it to the list. Vloggers Hareem Shah and Aliza Sehar were among the top searched on the search engine.As the search engine giant 'Google' released the list of most searched topics in its entire 25-year-long history, the name Kohli popped at the top when it came to cricketers.Since Google started to exist, some of the finest cricketers have been featured in the sporting universe. The list includes players like Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, etc. But, it was Kohli who emerged as the 'most searched cricketer' in Google's history.When it came to the most searched athlete on the list, however, Kohli wasn't the man at the top. It was Real Madrid and Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo, who continues going strong even at the age of 38 at Saudia Arabian club Al-Nassr.Ronaldo also went on to defeat some of the biggest players in the game, especially his arch-rival Lionel Messi. The two have arguably been the finest players in the game in their generation, dominating the sport for about 15 years.What's interesting, however, is that even Kohli is a bigger fan of Ronaldo than he is of Messi. In multiple interviews, the Indian cricket star had revealed how much he admires the Portuguese footballer."No trophy or any title can take anything away from what you've done in this sport and for sports fans around the world," Kohli wrote on Instagram."No trophy or any title can take anything away from what you've done in this sport and for sports fans around the world," Kohli had once written for Ronaldo on Instagram after the latter's team was eliminated from FIFA World Cup 2022."No title can explain the impact you've had on people and what I and so many around the world feel when we watch you play. That's a gift from god. A real blessing to a man who plays his heart out every single time and is the epitome of hard work and dedication and a true inspiration for any sportsperson."You are for me the greatest of all time," the post further read.Topics mentioned in this article

Eyeing a Test win in Australia in 27 years, the Pakistan cricket team has left no stone unturned in its preparation for the first Test against the hosts, starting Thursday, December 14 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. The Shan Masood-led side played a four-day practice game against Australia's Prime Minister's XI last week at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. The match ended in a draw after no play was possible on Day 4. However, Pakistan were far from pleased with the 'slow and low' track prepared for the solitary warm-up game.Pakistan's Director of Cricket Mohammad Hafeez was criticial of the pitch used for the game against the Prime Minister's XI."The pitch we received for the practice (match in Canberra), that was the slowest we can ever, ever play on as a visiting team in Australia," Hafeez had told the reporters on Monday.In order to get their batters ready for the first Test pitch, which is likely to offer quite some bounce to pacers, Pakistan players have resorted to rather unorthodox methods.Having said that, the Pakistan players were seen practicing with a marble slab in the nets to acclimatize to the extra bounce of the famous Perth track.Pakistan have got a unique training device in the nets: a slab of marble. Mohammad Rizwan had it tilted on angle. They hope it will help them deal with Perth's extra bounce #AUSvPAK pic.twitter.com/hvNzWJS9bH— Louis Cameron (@LouisDBCameron) December 12, 2023Pakistan recalled Sajid Khan after fellow spinner Abrar Ahmed was ruled out of the first Test against Australia with a leg injury.The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said Abrar will remain with the team to receive treatment."Ahmed injured his leg around the knee during the tour game and his MRI suggests rest and rehabilitation, which means he will not be available for the first Test," a PCB news release said.Abrar will be assessed for the second Test in Melbourne from December 26, it said. The third Test is in Sydney from January 3.Sajid, 30, played the last of his seven Tests against Australia in March 2022 and will fly to Perth to join the team before the match.(With AFP Inputs)Topics mentioned in this article
