Babar Azam suffering from high fever

A fan of national Test team captain Babar Azam climbed over a fence to enter the ground and meet him, with a video of the incident going viral on social media.

According to private TV channel ARY News, Babar Azam is playing for OGDC in the President’s Trophy Grade-I at Abbottabad Stadium, where a large number of fans have gathered to catch a glimpse of him.

One such fan crossed the fence installed outside the boundary line and reached the ground to meet Babar, with a video of the incident going viral on social media.

The video shows the fan taking a selfie with Babar and then performing a prostration of gratitude before running out of the ground.

Although the fan managed to meet Babar Azam, security personnel detained him shortly afterwards.

A social media post claimed that Babar Azam immediately tried to help and sent a player to request his release, but security officials had already taken him away.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time a Babar fan has entered the ground to meet him. Similar incidents have also been witnessed during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in the past.

According to a PCB report, Babar Azam is participating as a guest player for Oil and Gas Development Company Limited in the four-day match of the third round of the President’s Trophy Grade-I.
OGDCL are facing Khan Research Laboratories in the match, with Pakistan national team fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi representing KRL.
The match is being played in Abbottabad from 24 to 27 September.
