Lahore (Pakistan News Online) Pakistan’s middle-order batsman Umar Akmal has claimed that according to his knowledge, the engagement of former national cricket team captain Babar Azam has been confirmed.
Speaking in a podcast, Umar Akmal said that if Babar wants to get married, then hurry up. He added that Babar Azam should be rested for one to two series but he should not be completely removed from the team.
Umar Akmal gave the example of Indian player Virat Kohli and said that he was also not scoring runs for a year but the Indian Cricket Board did not remove him from the team. I think Babar Azam should also be rested so that he can come back refreshed.
He added that Babar Azam has become a brand of Pakistan and we cannot sideline him from the team. As a cricketer, I have always supported Babar and senior players have also given him many useful tips.
Umar Akmal said that the PCB should also rest Babar for one series and then reinstate him in the next series so that his form can be restored.
Who is Babar Azam’s Fiance:
Umar Akmal confirmed the engagement of his cousin Babar Azam, but avoided revealing who the girl was and whether she was from his family or not.
