Babar Azam, the former captain of the Pakistan cricket team, marked a significant milestone as he stepped onto the field for his 50th Test match in the much-anticipated series against Australia. In a heartfelt pre-match ceremony, Test captain Shan Masood handed Azam a special souvenir cap and memento to commemorate the occasion.

At 29 years old, Azam has been a pivotal figure in Pakistan's cricketing landscape, showcasing remarkable talent and consistency in the longest format of the game. Before the first Test against Australia commenced, Masood, who currently leads the team, acknowledged Azam's contribution by presenting him with a token of appreciation.

Azam's illustrious Test career boasts an impressive record of 3,772 runs at an average of 47.74, featuring nine centuries and 26 half-centuries. As Pakistan aimed to secure a historic Test series victory against Australia, Azam's experience and skill became even more crucial.

In the series opener in Perth, Australia won the toss and elected to bat. Notably, Pakistan handed Test debuts to pacers Aamir Jamal and Khurram Shahzad, adding a layer of anticipation to the encounter. Meanwhile, Australia made a strategic change, with Nathan Lyon returning to the side.

Despite the historical significance of Azam's 50th Test, the focus shifted to the challenging task ahead for Pakistan, aiming to break a longstanding streak without a Test series win against Australia. Masood, in his leadership role, expressed optimism about the pitch at Optus Stadium in Perth, emphasizing the importance of batting first in the limited matches played at the venue. As the series unfolded, all eyes were on Azam and the Pakistani team, eager to rewrite history Down Under.
