Pakistan skipper Babar Azam fined for violating traffic rules in Lahore
Pakistan captain Babar Azam is not having a great time. In the Asia Cup 2023, barring the game against Nepal, the star batter from Pakistan could not make a huge impact with the bat. As a captain, some of the decisions of Babar were highly questionable. Following the mediocre campaign of Pakistan in the tournament, the fans expressed their disappointment and asked for improvements.
If that was not enough, Pakistan sustained injuries from some of its key players in the tournament like Agha Salman, Imam-Ul-Haq, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah. In a big blow, Pakistan ruled out Naseem Shah from the ODI World Cup 2023 and replaced him with Hasan Ali. Pakistan lost against India and Sri Lanka, two of the big teams in the Asia Cup 2023.
Following Pakistan’s exit from the tournament, a report suggesting a heated dressing room conversation between Shaheen Afridi and Babar became viral. The left-arm pacer was quick to shut the critics by posting a social media post, which confirmed that there was no rift between him and the captain. Babar also attended the reception of Shaheen. Pakistan found it difficult to get visas for India.
Hefty fine for Babar Azam following violation of traffic rules
Before the fans could breathe, they were served with another shocking news. Babar seems to have landed in a problem. On the 17th of September, Azam was reportedly fined by Pakistan traffic police in Lahore. According to the reports, the Pakistani captain was guilty of two violations – driving the car without a credible driving license and committing a lane violation.” Fans are fuming at the 28-year-old again.
The reports suggest that Azam initially violated a lane and was stopped. Upon investigation, police found out that he did not have a valid driving license. Hence, the authorities fined Babar PKR 2,000, which translates to INR 570. They have scheduled the arrival of the men in green in Hyderabad for the 2023 ODI World Cup campaign. They will play a practice game against New Zealand in Hyderabad before starting their World Cup campaign.
