Nice to see Naseem Shah taking time to not only sign autographs on behalf of Babar Azam (who as usual is quite insensitive to fan adulation), but entertain them with loving gestures and taking photographs. Keep it up Naseem, be a role model for the kids not only with the game

Naseem made his comeback into the side last month, having been out of actions since September 2023 owing to a shoulder injury. He had picked up the injury during the Asia Cup, and was also ruled out of the ODI World Cup in India.
He made his return to competitive cricket during the Pakistan Super League. He picked 15 wickets in the tournament, helping Islamabad United win the PSL.
However, Naseem hasn't been in the best of forms since making his Pakistan comeback during the T20I series against New Zealand last month.
He picked just four wickets across the four matches against New Zealand and Ireland, leaking runs at over 9 per over.Â
He did not play the second T20I against England while the first and third matches were washed out in Leeds and Cardiff, respectively.
The tour-decider will be played on Thursday with England leading 1-0 in the five-match series.
Both teams will leave for the Americas after the series to participate in the T20 World Cup.
