Babar has been struggling with poor form in all three formats for the last few months. Despite the pitch being favorable for batting in the Multan Test against England, Babar scored only 30 and 5. Just hours after this defeat, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) formed a new selection committee. The selection committee comprising veteran umpires Aleem Dar, Aaqib Javed and Azhar Ali decided to drop Babar from the team for the second Test. However, it is not clear for how long he will be kept out of the team and what he will have to prove to make a comeback. Babar is often compared with Indian batsman Virat Kohli.
