Babar Azam confronted over Pakistan’s alleged Lord’s protest after Imran Khan interview
Pakistan captain Babar Azam firmly dismissed rumors regarding a potential protest by the team at Lord's. He emphasized his ignorance about any talks of the players refusing to come back after lunch. This controversy flared up following an interview on Sky Sports featuring Imran Khan's sons discussing their father's treatment.
Babar Azam has denied reports that Pakistan considered refusing to return to the field after lunch on the opening day of the Lord’s Test against England, amid a dispute over a Sky Sports interview with the sons of former Pakistan captain and prime minister Imran Khan. Babar told BBC Test Match Special that he had no knowledge of any discussion within the team about staying off the field following the lunch break.
Despite the reported tension surrounding the broadcast, Pakistan returned to the field as scheduled and there was no interruption to the Test.
