Pakistan's white-ball captain, Babar Azam, is on the cusp of yet another remarkable achievement in T20 International cricket. 

Babar is just three half-centuries away from securing the record for the most fifties by a batsman in T20I cricket history. Currently, Virat Kohli leads with 37 fifties in 109 innings, while the 29-year-old holds the second spot with 34 fifties in 107 innings in the shorter-format.

After the completion of the five-match T20I series against New Zealand which resulted in a draw (2-2), the Men in Green's next endeavor will be a thrilling three-match T20I series against Ireland, scheduled to take place from 10th to 14th May 2024 in Dublin. 

Following the Ireland series, Pakistan's schedule remains packed with high-stakes matches. They will embark on a tour to England, where they are slated to engage in a four-match T20I series from 22nd to 30th May 2024.

After their engagements in England, Pakistan will head straight to the USA to participate in the 2024 T20 World Cup, scheduled to be held in June.
