In a video posted on the Instagram of the PCB, players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Imam Ul-Haq, among others, were seen doing workout ahead of the three-match ODI series against Netherlands.

Former Pakistan pacer Aaqib Javed said that Virat Kohli has a "soft area" outside the off stump and that he gets stuck to deliveries there.

Ahead of the team's departure for the tour of Netherlands and Asia Cup, skipper Babar Azam was asked about Afridi's fitness.

During an interaction with media, Babar Azam was questioned by a journalist if there was any pressure on the Pakistan team given it is likely to face India in three matches in the upcoming Asia Cup 2022 and the Pakistan skipper replied in affirmative.

Recently, Sri Lanka great Mahela Jayawardene, on the latest episode of The ICC Review, backed Babar Azam to dethrone Joe Root from the top spot in Tests.

The former England captain has scored more runs than any other player since the turn of the decade, and deservedly claimed the ICC Men's Test Player of the Year award in 2021.

Suryakumar is the best-placed Indian with 805 points in the batting list headed by Pakistan's Babar Azam.
