Babar Azam pens heartfelt message after PSL get postponed

Grinding out in his 20s in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) and domestic cricket for Mumbai, Suryakumar struggled to make it to Team India, watching many of his peers get a national cap. Despite a purple patch in the IPL from 2018-2020, which saw him score 400-500 runs consistently, India's very own 'Mr 360' struggled to catch selectors' attention. But when he finally did at the age of 30, his next five years saw him live out a decade worthy of career highs and lows, making him one of the most intriguing figures of Indian cricket.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Bangladesh, according to the International Cricket Council (ICC).

The 25-year-old seamer had shaken hands with Brook after taking his wicket during the match. Reacting to that gesture, Afridi said, "He deserved it because he had a world-class innings in his life. I think that was the best innings. Harry and I had a very good friendship as well. We have played together in PSL as well. He played with us for Lahore Qalandars, and I think the innings he played, you should appreciate it."

With this win, England has two wins in two matches in the Super Eight phase, sealing their spot in the semifinal. Pakistan, whose first match was a washout, cannot qualify for the knockouts even if they win their last fixture against Sri Lanka. England have four points, confirming their berth in the semifinals, while Pakistan sit at nil. In chase of 165 runs, it was Brook's no-holds-barred assault that guided England to a victory from a spot of bother at 58/4. Brook is the first-ever captain to hit a century in T20 World Cup history.

With Pakistan's all-important Super Eight clash to be won following a washout against New Zealand, all eyes were on Babar to finally play a big knock. However, he disappointed big time, scoring just 25 in 24 balls, with two fours.
