The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced the squads of the five teams for the Champions One Day Cup. All the top domestic and international players of Pakistan are participating in this tournament starting from September 12 and this tournament is being seen as an audition for the Champions Trophy. The big news is that Babar Azam has not been made the captain of any team. Babar Azam is a part of the Stallions team and he will play under the captaincy of Mohammad Harris. There were reports that Babar himself did not want to become the captain because the mentor of this team is Shoaib Malik, with whom he is said to have a rift.

Babar may not become the captain but Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi will be seen captaining in the Champions ODI Cup. Mohammad Rizwan has been made the captain of the Wolves team. Shaheen has been given the captaincy of the Lions. Saud Shakeel has been appointed the captain of the Dolphins and Shadab Khan the captain of the Panthers.

By the way, let us tell you that questions are being raised about the Pakistan ODI Cup as well. Pakistan ODI Cup is being organized just before the Test series against England. England has to play a three-Test series on Pakistan tour in October and just before this series, all the big players of Pakistan will play the ODI Cup. In such a situation, the question is how will the Pakistani players practice for the Test series. Recently, Pakistan has suffered a 0-2 defeat against Bangladesh at its home. Now if it loses to England as well, then Pakistan cricket may be criticized more.
