The first Test against the West Indies at the Brian Lara Trouba Cricket Academy is Babar Azam’s 21st Test match as captain, while the right-handed batsman’s 63rd Test match overall.
Babar Azam, Pakistan’s tenth highest run scorer in Test cricket, who has scored 9 centuries in 115 Tests so far, is getting impatient waiting for his tenth century in Test cricket.
Babar Azam, who scored his first century in Test cricket after 32 innings, scored his last century in Test cricket in the form of 161 runs against New Zealand in Karachi in December 2022.
Since then, right-handed batsmen have failed in their attempts to consistently play big innings in Test cricket.
Babar Azam has played 33 Tests since December 2022 in a span of 42 months.
Babar Azam’s inconsistency in batting during this period can be seen from the fact that he could only play 2 innings during this period in which he played more than 100 balls, but scored 863 runs in 33 innings with 5 half-centuries.
