Pakistan captain Babar Azam is one of the most celebrated cricketers of the modern era. He is one of the few cricketers who enjoys tremendous fan following mainly because of his incredible batting performances for Pakistan. The 28-year-old is back in the news, but this time, for all the wrong reasons.
On Sunday, a number of pictures (some claim that it's not Babar Azam) and an alleged voice recording were leaked on social media. This pictures have been doing the rounds on social media since for some time. However, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has labelled the pictures as "unsubstantiated personal allegation." This response came to a story posted by Fox Cricket, which they deleted later.
As our media partner, you might have considered ignoring such unsubstantiated personal allegations which Babar Azam has not deemed worthy of a response. https://t.co/QZFAxbd4QR
