Fans on social media were in for a surprise after Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan missed out on selection in the Pakistan squad for the Asia Cup 2025 and the UAE Tri-Series 2025. The PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) on Sunday, August 17, announced a 17-member squad for the UAE Tri-Series, which will be followed by the much-awaited Asia Cup and the names Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, two senior players, were not to be found. The decision to leave out Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan could be justified by the fact that both these players were not part of Pakistan's last few T20I assignments. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan both last played T20Is for Pakistan in 2024. But some fans were left disappointed as they felt the two seniors should have been selected in Pakistan's squad for the Asia Cup 2025 and the UAE Tri-Series. One fan, however, felt that it was a 'perfect decision'. Take a look at some reactions, which include some memes as well.ย No Babar Azam, Mohammed Rizwan As Pakistan Squad for Asia Cup 2025 and UAE T20I Tri-Series 2025 Announced, Salman Ali Agha Retained As Captain.
