Babar Azam, Mahmudullah reveal T20I series trophy

Pakistan and Bangladesh's respective captains, Babar Azam and Mahmudullah today unveiled the T20I series trophy ahead of the three-day T20I series which is to begin on Friday at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium. 

In the trophy-unveiling press conference, Azam said the team's focus was to maintain their top world T20I ranking. If the host team lose just one of the three matches, their ranking would see a slip to stand behind England or India.

"The focus is to continue the number one ranking," Babar said. "We can hang on to that only if we win all three matches, so its a do-or-die situation and we have planned for that," he told a press conference.

As for the guests' captain, he said security was a thing of the past and that the team would maintain their focus on putting on a good show.

 

"We feel good in Pakistan … so the focus will be on cricket," said the Bangladesh skipper.
