Babar Azam hospitalised with high fever ahead of third Test

Pakistan captain Babar Azam was rushed to hospital after developing a high fever ahead of the decisive third Test against England. The development comes at a difficult time for Pakistan, who trail 0-2 in the three-match series.

The final Test is scheduled to begin at Edgbaston on September 9. Babar had been managing the side through a period of significant squad changes and internal scrutiny.

The illness adds another complication to Pakistan's preparations as they seek to avoid a clean sweep in the series.
