Pakistan's T20 captain Babar Azam has been in poor form for quite some time. His bat did not work in the Bangladesh series and he also failed to leave his mark in the T20 World Cup. Now Babar has also failed in the practice match before the Champions Cup to be held in Pakistan. Babar Azam is a part of the Stallions team and his bat did not work in the practice match against the Lions. Babar Azam scored 20 runs and the big thing is that his middle stump was blown away. Babar went to sweep the spinner's ball and he missed it completely, as a result his middle stump was blown away.

Who is Mohammad Asghar?

Let us now tell you who is Mohammad Asghar, the bowler who dismissed Babar Azam? Mohammad Asghar is a 25-year-old left-arm spinner. This player was born in Balochistan. This player is known for his tight bowling. Asghar has taken 177 wickets in 49 first class matches. At the same time, Asghar has 116 wickets in 78 matches in the list. This player has taken 66 wickets in T20 and his economy rate is also just 7.26 runs per over. Mohammad Asghar plays for Peshawar Zalmi in PSL. He has 21 wickets in 21 matches.

Babar Azam is once again struggling. In the Champions Cup practice match, Babar Azam was bowled out by a spinner. Babar Azam scored only 20 runs off 20 balls, while Shan Masood scored 90 runs off 80 balls before getting out caught. Tayyab Tahir's excellent batting continues. pic.twitter.com/MucYJTCZs1
