Babar Azam, the top-ranked ODI batter, is struggling to find his form, and ex-captain Shoaib Akhtar has given him an ultimatum. The new management will not consider him in T20s, even for the ODIs, he added. Akhtar said that with a new white-ball coach, Babar must prove himself, particularly by scoring match-winning centuries in the 2025 Champions Trophy, to retain his spot.
