LAHORE: The Peshawar Zalmi suffered a substantial disadvantage just before commencing the tenth round of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). During practice Peshawar Zalmi’s captain and key batsman Babar Azam received a leg injury.
According to reports Peshawar Zalmi players conducted their practice session in Islamabad the previous day until Babar Azam received an injury on the foot from a ball. This injury prevents him from walking with ease. Video footage from the team practice session shows Babar Azam walking to the dressing room at the time of his injury which is circulating through social media platforms.
Currently Peshawar Zalmi management has not released any public announcement regarding Babar Azam’s medical condition. Multiple cricket fans and analysts through social media believe that Babar Azam must sit out in the beginning matches of PSL.

The team can look forward to Babar Azam’s comeback although his team’s play will remain affected because of his absence. Each person is waiting for Peshawar Zalmai to issue an official statement which will reveal Babar Azam’s injury status including match fitness details.
