Babar Azam is expected to return to Pakistan’s T20 squad for the upcoming series against South Africa after back-to-back defeats against India exposed batting weaknesses. The PCB has reportedly advised selectors to recall the star batter, who last played a T20I in December against South Africa before being sidelined over strike rate concerns. His comeback is seen as a major boost for stability and confidence in Pakistan’s top order, though discussions continue about whether he should open or bat lower down. Fans and analysts believe his presence can anchor the innings and strengthen the lineup ahead of crucial matches, with an official PCB announcement awaited soon.
