Pakistan legend Waqar Younis believes his former team has every chance of going all the way and winning this year’s ICC T20 World Cup.

India's Virat Kohli could line up beside Pakistan skipper Babar Azam in the same team next year with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) planning to revive the Afro-Asia Cup.

Pakistan now boast the two highest-rated ODI batters in the world for the first time after in-form opener Imam-ul-Haq went past India veteran Virat Kohli, to join team-mate Babar Azam at the top of the ICC MRF Tyres Men's One Day Batter rankings.

Marnus Labuschagne's reign as the highest-ranked Test batter in the world is over as England right-hander Joe Root claimed top spot on the latest ICC MRF Tyres Men's Test Batter rankings.

High-flying skipper Babar Azam hopes that his extraordinary run-scoring can fire Pakistan to World Cup glory -- and in the process fulfil a childhood dream.

Babar, however, cost his team five runs in the field following a bizarre turn of events during West Indies' chase. In the 29th over, Babar was spotted to have picked up one of the wicket-keeping gloves, and used it to pick up the ball behind the stumps.

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam has made a habit of breaking and setting new records almost every time that he goes out to bat.

Babar Azam said he aspires to be the number one ranked batter in all formats of cricket as he tries to match Dinesh Karthik’s call that the Pakistan captain can create history.

A superb unbeaten 125 from Babar Azam and a five-wicket haul to Hasan Ali led Pakistan to a comfortable 74-run victory in its second one-day international against the West Indies in Providence, Guyana on Sunday, levelling the three-match series 1-1.
