Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam and Sarfaraz Ahmed attended the Qawwali night before teammate Imam-ul-Haq’s wedding in Lahore. Sarfaraz was seen enjoying the music, with Babar and Usman Qadir sitting next to him. Babar had a smile on his face as Sarfaraz grooved to the tune of ‘Mera piya ghar aaya’. Imam’s nikah (wedding ceremony) is scheduled to take place on November 25, with the wedding reception to be held on November 26.
Babar recently stepped down as captain of the Pakistan cricket team across formats. Shan Masood was appointed as the captain of the Test team, while Shaheen Afridi will lead the side in T20Is.
Babar’s resignation came after Pakistan failed to reach the Cricket World Cup semi-finals. He scored 320 runs in nine matches at an average of 40, including four half-centuries.
Babar, Sarfaraz, and Imam have all been named in Pakistan’s Test squad for their tour of Australia next month.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has organized a camp for the team in Rawalpindi, which will run until November 28 at the Pindi Cricket Stadium before the team flies to Australia on November 30.
The Pakistan squad for the tour of Australia includes Shan Masood (captain), Aamir Jamal, Abdullah Shafiq, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Ali, Imam-ul-Haq, Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Nauman Ali, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Shaheen Afridi, Saud Shakeel, and Sarfaraz Ahmed.
The schedule for Pakistan’s tour of Australia is as follows:
– December 14-18: 1st Test in Perth
– December 26-30: 2nd Test in Melbourne
– January 3-7: 3rd Test in Sydney
