Pakistan cricket team captain and top batsman Babar Azam has prioritized batting practice above attending the wedding of his buddy and colleague player Shadab Khan.
Babar was spotted refining his abilities at the Hanif Muhammad Regional National Cricket Academy pitch on the third day of practice at the National Stadium in Karachi.
Meanwhile, the wedding of Islamabad United captain and all-rounder Shadab Khan disrupted the cricket schedule, as Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United postponed their first practice sessions. The majority of the Islamabad players were unable to go to Karachi since they were attending a wedding celebration in Islamabad.
Shadab’s wedding, which is scheduled for Friday, has drawn a number of notable cricketers, including Babar Azam and former Test captain Sarfaraz Ahmed, who will travel to Islamabad for the occasion. The Mianwali-born all-rounder is married to British citizen Malaika, the daughter of former Test cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq.
Haris Rauf, Shan Masood, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, all members of Pakistan’s cricket squad, have married in the last two months. Shadab thanked his admirers on social media for keeping his personal life secret.
It’s worth noting that the teams were supposed to be at National Stadium at one o’clock for the practice session, but the activities were finally canceled.
