Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam’s bat will be displayed in the Long Room of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The MCG officials requested the bat as a donation, and Babar decided to give them the bat he used in the 2022 T20 World Cup final.
The Long Room is already home to bats from cricket legends like Don Bradman, David Boon, Jack Hobbs, and Brian Lara, making it a special place for cricket memorabilia.
Babar expressed his gratitude and said that having his bat displayed alongside such famous players is a great honor. He shared his fond memories of playing at the MCG, which he considers one of the best cricket grounds in the world.
This gesture shows Babar’s appreciation for cricket history and the significance of the MCG in the sport. Donating his bat not only highlights his achievements but also connects him to the legacy of great cricketers who have played there before him.
Babar’s bat will serve as inspiration for future generations of cricketers and fans who visit the MCG. It is a reminder of his contribution to the game and his role in promoting cricket in Pakistan.
The display of his bat is also a way to celebrate Pakistan’s cricketing achievements on an international stage. This recognition reinforces the importance of cricket as a unifying sport, bringing together fans from all over the world.
