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.
CricHubb Take
Babar's hospitalisation crystallises how Pakistan's mid-tour turmoil has moved beyond selection debates into basic squad availability and leadership continuity.
