WATCH: Ubaid Shah troubles Babar Azam during practice session

Ubaid Shah bowling to Naseem Shah. - x/Raz KhanUbaid, the younger brother of Pakistan pacer Naseem Shah, struck white-ball captain Babar Azam on the chest during a net session on Wednesday.In a viral video, 18-year-old Ubaid Shah was seen challenging Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman in a practice session. Babar left the first ball, a darting in-swinger on a fourth stump line that pitched on length, but the ball whizzed past the top of the off-stump.  Ubaid held his head in his hands, indicating he had nearly forced Babar into a mistake. He also beat the outside edge of Fakhar, who tried to defend a corker.The highlight of his intense practice session was perhaps the next ball. Attempting to pull from an awkward length, Babar received a nasty blow to his ribs and writhed in pain after miscuing the shot.WATCH HERE: Ubaid was named in the ICC's 2024 Under-19 World Cup Team of the Tournament.
