Pakistan’s star cricketer, Babar Azam, recently performed Umrah and was seen attending iftar at Masjid Al Haram in Makkah. A video shared by his brother, Safeer Azam, showed Babar sitting near the Kaaba, enjoying a date to break his fast. The caption on the post read, “Alhamdulillah,” reflecting his gratitude for this spiritual journey.
This is not the first time Babar has visited the holy cities during Ramadan. In 2024, he had also performed Umrah, showing his deep devotion and faith. His visit to Makkah comes at a time when his cricketing form has been under discussion. Fans and analysts have been closely watching his performance, especially in the 50-over format, where he has faced some challenges after being moved to the opening position.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan cricket team is preparing for their upcoming tour of New Zealand, starting on March 16. There have been significant changes in the squad, with Salman Ali Agha replacing Mohammad Rizwan as the T20I captain. Notably, key players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Mohammad Rizwan have been left out of the T20I squad for this series.
Babar Azam’s recent spiritual journey has won the hearts of his fans, who admire his commitment both on and off the field. While his future performances remain a topic of discussion, his dedication to his faith and cricket continues to inspire millions.
