Pakistan reappointed Babar Azam as Test captain in July 2026 for their tours of the West Indies and England, his third stint in the red-ball role after stepping down in late 2023. As Outlook India reported, the decision followed Shan Masood's tenure, which ended after 12 defeats in 16 Tests, with selectors hoping the switch would revive both Babar's batting and the team's form.
