Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi was also present in the meeting.

Coach Jason Gillespie also supported this. It was also mentioned in the report that the team captain and head coach were not involved in the meeting.
If Babar is not included in the playing eleven of the second Test to be played in Multan from October 15, then the question is also arising whether he will make himself available for the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy starting from October 20 or not. . Babar has not played any first class match since 2019.
