Srinagar: It was battle before the actual battle as Pakistan skipper Babar Azam faced speed star Shaheen Shah Afridi in the nets ahead of the start of Pakistan Super League 8.

A video of the duo’s training in the nets, at the National High Performance Centre, was shared by the Lahore Qalandars on Saturday.

Afridi is set to lead defending champions Qalandars during PSL 8 while as Azam will be in charge of Peshawar Zalmi.

Earlier Zalmi roped in Azam in the Platinum category and the first pick in the supplementary round for Haider Ali and Shoaib Malik who move to Karachi Kings in Platinum and Diamond categories, respectively, before the trade and retention window closed.

Babar Azam is the all-time highest scorer of PSL, with 2413 runs under his belt in 68 matches.
