Pakistan Cricketers Babar Azam, Azam Khan Slammed for Wiping Sweat with Currency

Pakistan Cricketers Babar Azam and Azam Khan Draw Flak for Insensitive Act

Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam and wicketkeeper-batter Azam Khan have come under fire for an insensitive act that has sparked outrage on social media. Ahead of the T20I series against England, a video emerged showing Azam wiping his forehead with a bundle of foreign currency while Babar, who was allegedly recording the video, teased him and laughed.

The video has drawn widespread criticism from social media users, who have condemned the players' actions as disrespectful and insensitive. Many have pointed out that the act is particularly offensive given the economic challenges faced by many Pakistanis.

"This is a shameful act by two of our national cricketers," said one user on Twitter. "They should be ashamed of themselves for showing such disrespect for our currency."

Another user commented, "This is not the behavior we expect from our cricketers. They should be role models for our youth, not setting bad examples."

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has not yet commented on the incident, but it is likely that the players will face some form of disciplinary action.

The incident comes at a time when Pakistan is preparing for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia. The team has been in good form recently, having beaten Ireland 2-1 in a three-match T20I series.

However, the controversy surrounding Babar and Azam Khan could overshadow the team's preparations for the World Cup. The players will need to quickly put this incident behind them and focus on the task at hand.
