# Cricket: The star batsman Babar Azam is back in Pakistan’s 16-man squad to face world champions Australia in the three-match ODI series starting next week. Azam missed the away series in March against Bangladesh with a fitness issue, but scored 588 runs in the Pakistan Super League earlier this month to stage a comeback. Fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi will continue to captain the side, with Salman Ali Agha named vice-captain. The first clash between the two teams is on 30 May in Rawalpindi.
