Babar Azam Set to Return for Pakistan in Second Test Against England at Lord's
Pakistan Test captain Babar Azam is expected to return for the second Test against England at Lord's after recovering from a finger injury sustained during the West Indies series and aggravated in a practice match. Bowling coach Umar Gul confirmed Babar completed a full batting session and looked in good touch. His return is anticipated to strengthen Pakistan's batting lineup, which struggled in the first Test, and may lead to a reshuffle in the top order. Babar will also resume captaincy after missing the opener.
