Pakistan captain Babar Azam faces sexual abuse allegation, exploited me for 10 years, says woman

Pakistan captain Babar Azam seems to be in trouble as a woman has accused him of sexual abuse. In an explosive press conference, the woman, who claimed to be Babar's school mate, said the star batsman had been exploiting her for 10 years. She claimed that Babar promised marriage in 2010 but went back on his words after he rose to fame as a top cricketer.

The woman, while speaking to the press in Pakistan on Saturday, said Babar Azam proposed marriage as early as 2010 and the duo had eloped for a court wedding next year. However, she said Babar changed his mind.

The woman claimed she had supported Babar financially when the Pakistan captain was making his mark in competitive cricket. She



also said Babar physically abused her and threatened her before she went to the police.

Pakistan journalist Saj Sadiq shared a clip of the woman making the allegations. "He promised to marry me, he got me pregnant, he beat me up, he threatened me and he used me," the woman was quoted as saying. Pakistan Cricket Board of the player is yet to respond to the allegations leveled by the woman.

Babar Azam is currently in New Zealand on a 14-day quarantine period as he is will be leading Pakistan in the upcoming T20I series against the hosts. Babar was appointed as the captain for Tests earlier this month as he took over from Azhar Ali. He is now the captain for Pakistan across all three formats.
