Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistani cricket team, is considering pursuing legal action against a number of YouTubers and former players who have openly accused him of wrongdoing during the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Following Pakistan’s unannounced withdrawal from the competition, Babar has been the object of harsh criticism and an ongoing social media campaign criticizing his performance and leadership.
Babar is actively seeking legal advice in the midst of the dispute in order to decide on the best course of action. Concurrently, the legal section of the Pakistan Cricket Board is carefully collecting evidence to back up Babar’s allegations and assist with any future legal actions.
Public discontent has increased and scrutiny of Babar’s captaincy has risen as a result of the team’s inability to advance to the Super Eight stage, especially following defeats to the United States and India.
Babar has defended his reputation and pursued legal action in response to mounting criticism, even after a final match against Ireland that had no effect on their tournament standing.
