Pakistan started their World Test Championship journey in impressive fashion with a strong victory over South Africa. Chasing a target of 277, South Africa were bowled out for 183 in 60.5 overs, as spinners Noman Ali and Sajid Khan, along with pacer Shaheen Afridi, led Pakistan to victory. Pakistan kicked off their ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025–27 journey in impressive fashion by registering a 93-run victory over reigning champions South Africa in the opening Test at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday.

Babar Azam is focused on ending Pakistan’s long wait for World Cup success, aiming to bring the coveted trophy home. بابر اعظم پاکستان کے لیے دیر سے منتظر ورلڈ کپ کی کامیابی حاصل کرنے کے لیے پُرعزم ہیں۔ If you want longer versions or headline-style options, just tell me! Babar Azam is determined to finally bring a World Cup title back to Pakistan, saying he is pushing himself harder than ever in both fitness and skill to achieve that dream. Over the last decade, Babar has grown into one of Pakistan’s most reliable run-scorers, amassing 32 international centuries — the fourth-highest tally for the country. Yet, despite coming close, a major ICC trophy has remained out of reach. As captain, he led Pakistan to the 2022 T20 World Cup final, where England defeated them by five wickets. Pakistan last lifted a World Cup trophy in 2009 under Younis Khan’s leadership. In a candid chat with former England star Kevin Pietersen on The Switch, Babar discussed different chapters of his career. When ...
