Babar Azam ‘to File Defamation Case’ Against YouTubers, Former Players – Startup Pakistan

Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam is exploring the possibility of taking legal action against several YouTubers and former players who have publicly accused him of misconduct during the T20 World Cup 2024.

Following Pakistan’s unexpected exit from the tournament, Babar has faced widespread criticism and a relentless social media campaign targeting his leadership and performance.

Amidst the controversy, Babar is actively consulting with legal experts to determine the best course of action. Simultaneously, the Pakistan Cricket Board’s legal department is diligently gathering evidence to substantiate Babar’s claims and support any potential legal proceedings.

The team’s failure to progress to the Super Eight stage, particularly after losses to the USA and India, has exacerbated public dissatisfaction and intensified scrutiny of Babar’s captaincy.

Despite a final match against Ireland that held no bearing on their tournament standing, criticism continues to mount, prompting Babar to defend his reputation and seek recourse through legal channels.
