Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam has made the decision to initiate legal action against YouTubers and former players who have accused him of various allegations. This move comes in the wake of significant criticism aimed at both Babar Azam and the national team following their underwhelming performance and early elimination from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
During the tournament, there was a notable social media campaign targeting Babar Azam, criticizing his leadership and the team's overall performance. Allegations made by former players added to the scrutiny and intensified public discourse surrounding Babar Azam's role as captain.
Sources indicate that Babar Azam was deeply affected by the allegations leveled against him. Feeling aggrieved by what he perceives as unwarranted attacks on his reputation, Babar Azam has taken the step to consult with legal advisors and explore the possibility of issuing legal notices to those responsible for making defamatory statements.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly mobilized its legal department to gather evidence regarding the statements made by YouTubers and former players. This development underscores Babar Azam's determination to defend his integrity and protect his professional standing amidst the controversy.
As the legal process unfolds, Babar Azam's decision to pursue defamation charges reflects his commitment to addressing the allegations through appropriate legal channels, aiming to clarify his position and seek redress for any perceived damage to his reputation.
