In a recent ceremony, the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Najam Sethi, honored Babar Azam with a special jersey to celebrate the star batsman’s achievement of completing a century of Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.
The ICC ODI Men’s Cricketer of the Year Award was won by Pakistani captain Babar, who also won the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for the ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year for 2022. Babar had a spectacular year with the bat in all three formats.
The right-handed hitter was named to both the ICC ODI and Test Teams of the Year in 2022, making him just the second cricketer to be recognised in this way.
“Babar Azam made the whole nation proud by winning the most prestigious ICC Awards,” said Sethi.
Sethi also termed Babar a role model for all the young cricketers in the country.
“Babar Azam’s performance and achievements are a reward for his hard work, dedication and determination and he’s a beacon for all the young cricketers of Pakistan,” Sethi praised.
