Talking about how exciting and challenging this journey has been for Babar Azam, he said in detail in the Pakistan Cricket Board podcast that he especially remembers the moment when he was first informed about being included in the team, he was present with his family when he got a call that your name has come in the Pakistani team. There was no end to their happiness at that time.
Babar Azam says that there were some moments in this journey which were very difficult and painful. He was playing a tri-nation U-19 series in South Africa when he got the news of his Taya’s death, he was very close to him because he took great care of all his cricket. Whenever their bats were damaged, they used to fix them. He was so sad to hear the news of his death that he wanted to return home, but the father refused and said that you are playing for Pakistan so stay there.
When he first expressed his desire to buy a bat, his father said that there was no money, on this occasion the mother gave him the money she had to buy the bat, from which she bought the bat and the whole kit. Babar Azam says that his father’s role has been very important in his career.
He worked hard because he knew it would not be possible without a good performance. Babar Azam said that the journey of buses was fun, sometimes due to the rush, he used to save rent money and with this money he used to eat samosas.
