Babar’s first trial for departmental cricket team
During this time, Mansoor Rana, who was associated with ZTBL, spotted Babar’s talent and invited him to the National Cricket Academy.
Mohammad Asif arrived at the National Cricket Academy while Babar was on trial.
The trial had not yet begun, and Babar greeted Asif while wearing his pads.
“Oye Chhotu, Kidhar?” inquired Mohammad Asif, who was in a good mood. [How are you doing, young man?] “Asif Bhai,” Babar continued, “I am here for a trial for the bank team.”
At that point, Mohammad Asif went to the management, saying angrily, “What are you doing with him? He hit 11 fours for me.” “Write down his name and get him on the [bank’s] team,” he added. He will be a valuable asset to you.”
This prophecy came true as Babar Azam’s trip progressed.
Babar Azam’s first salary
According to the Instagram post, Babar Azam’s first salary as a cricketer was Rs16,800.
“Dear Mr. Mohammad Asif, every individual is responsible for their actions, and the time for such matters will never come,” Azam Siddique said. However, rest certain that Babar Azam will always maintain respect for you, and your presence on the pitch will be honored. Your prompt assistance has been critical to our success.”
He requested that the people refrain from making disparaging remarks against Mohammad Asif in regard to Babar.
