Babar Azam in contention to return as Pakistan Test captain

Pakistan's 104-run defeat to Bangladesh has put Shan Masood's Test captaincy under heavy scrutiny. Reports suggest the PCB may reinstate Babar Azam as red-ball skipper. A source said, "If Babar plays the second Test and regains his batting form, he is a strong contender to come back as captain," adding, "Initial exchanges indicate he is also not averse to returning."
