(Reuters) - Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam has been dropped for the second and third tests against England, the Pakistan Cricket Board announced on Sunday, following an innings and 47-run defeat in the series opener.
The out of form batsman will miss the matches in Multan and Rawalpindi after Friday's loss handed Pakistan their sixth consecutive test defeat and left them at the bottom of the World Test Championship standings.
