Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam had to face international humiliation in the Big Bash League on Friday. He was opening with Steve Smith for Sydney Sixers. Seeing Babar’s slow batting, Captain Smith refused to take a single on the last ball of the 11th over. Babar was bowled on the next ball. He missed fifty by just 3 runs. Angered by this, Babar, while leaving the field, slammed the bat on the boundary line. Sydney Sixers won this match by 5 wickets. Steve Smith played an inning of 100 runs in 42 balls. While Babar scored 47 runs on 38 balls. Babar wanted to take a single, Smith made it. Chris Green bowled the 11th over for Sydney Thunder. Babar Azam faced the last ball of the over. He played short to long on. Here both the batsmen had a chance to score a run. But, Captain Steve standing at the non-striker end refused. In the 12th over, Steve scored 32 runs with the help of 4 consecutive sixes and one four off the ball of Ryan Hadley. Next time Babar Azam came on strike on the first ball of the 13th over. So he was bowled by Nathan McAntrew. In this way Babar missed his fifty by 3 runs. Rizwan, who retired out 4 days ago, is not the first case of international insult to a Pakistan batsman. On 12 January, Mohammad Rizwan was recalled from the field due to slow batting by Melbourne Renegades captain Will Sutherland. Then Rizwan also became the first foreign player to be retired out in BBL. However, his team lost against Sydney Thunder by 4 wickets. full news
