Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, is reportedly considering the option of taking legal action against YouTubers and former cricketers, who accused him of misconduct during the T20 World Cup 2024. As per the recent development, the legal department of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is collecting evidence to pursue legal action in due course.
Notably, the Pakistan cricket team, led by Babar Azam, suffered a shock defeat at the hands of the USA in the T20 World Cup 2024, which led to their departure from the tournament in the group stage. It led to a plethora of criticism coming towards the Men in Green and its players, especially towards Babar Azam, which left him quite disheartened as per the report from Geo News.
It has been revealed that a well-coordinated campaign on social media was launched to defame during the T20 World Cup 2024. That’s why, the PCB legal department is now investigating the defamatory statements from YouTubers and the former cricketers towards its players.
During “Haarna Mana Hay” show on a Pakistan News channel, Ahmed Shehzad called his teammate Babar Azam a “Fraud King,” which made rounds on social media for days.
Moreover, according to a report from TOI, some members of the Pakistan cricket team made their return home, arriving in Lahore early morning on Wednesday, June 19, which included the likes of Naseem Shah and Usman Khan. But, the likes of Babar Azam, Imad Wasim, Haris Rauf, and Azam Khan have extended their stay in the USA.
