Babar Azam loses cool after dismissal for 42 in Quaid-e-Azam Trophy

During a domestic four-day fixture in Islamabad, experienced batter Babar Azam expressed visible annoyance by striking his willow against the turf upon being sent back for 42 runs. Representing Lahore Whites against FATA at Diamond Cricket Ground, the thirty-two-year-old consumed seventy-seven deliveries before edging a delivery from fast bowler Shahid Aziz to wicketkeeper Rehan Afridi during the thirty-fourth over.

This dismissal arrived while his side was attempting to surmount a massive target of 412, leaving the innings reeling at 102 for five. Earlier in the fixture, the premier batsman had contributed twenty-eight runs from forty balls in the opening innings as FATA posted 361 before Lahore Whites were dismissed for 234.

This recent domestic appearance follows a challenging international stretch that included a scoreless half-century run across a tri-series featuring England and Sri Lanka, alongside difficult Test tours in the United Kingdom and the Caribbean.
