 "Babar shines in Sri Lanka." Baber is playing his best short  As the Asia Cup 2023 gathers steam, the spotlight is firmly on Pakistan's cricketing magician, Babar Azam.

The European officials are eyeing the G20 summit in New Delhi as an opportunity to influence countries like India and China to adopt a more robust stance against Russia, a fellow BRICS member, in light of Mos...
