Just hours before the grand opening of the highly anticipated 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Peshawar Zalmi was dealt a significant blow as their star captain, Babar Azam, suffered an injury during a practice session.
The unexpected setback has cast a shadow over the team’s preparations and raised concerns among fans and cricket pundits alike.
PSL 10 has started today in Rawalpindi with a star-studded clash between the defending champions Islamabad United and two-time winners Lahore Qalandars.
With the tournament promising thrilling encounters and the participation of top national and international cricketing talent, excitement was reaching its peak. However, the news of Babar Azam’s injury has disrupted Peshawar Zalmi’s momentum just ahead of their campaign opener.
According to reports from the ground, Babar Azam sustained a foot injury during a training session in Islamabad. A ball reportedly struck him on the foot, forcing him to halt practice and leave the field.
A video of the incident has since gone viral on social media, showing the ace batter visibly limping as he made his way back to the dressing room. The footage has ignited a wave of concern among fans, who fear that their beloved captain might miss crucial early games of the tournament.
As of now, the severity of Babar’s injury remains uncertain. The team management has not yet released an official medical update, leaving room for speculation about his availability for upcoming matches.
Peshawar Zalmi’s first game is scheduled against Quetta Gladiators at 3:30 PM tomorrow, and questions are swirling over whether Babar will be fit to lead his side onto the field.
His absence could not only impact the team’s on-field performance but also affect their morale and strategic approach. Known for his consistency and leadership, Babar is a central figure in Zalmi’s plans for the season.
With anticipation building and the tournament just hours away, fans across the country are anxiously awaiting a positive update on the skipper’s condition. Whether he plays tomorrow or sits out to recover, his health will be closely watched as PSL 10 unfolds.
