Peshawar Zalmi suffered a major setback ahead of the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) as their captain, Babar Azam, sustained an injury during a practice session.

 

During a training session in Islamabad, the star batter was struck on the foot by a ball, causing him discomfort while walking. Babar was seen limping towards the dressing room, and the incident's video has rapidly gone viral on social media.

 

 

As of now, Peshawar Zalmi's management has not issued any official statement regarding Babar Azam's injury. However, speculations are circulating on social media that the captain might miss the initial matches of PSL 2025.

 

Meanwhile, in a positive development for Pakistani cricket, opener Saim Ayub has recovered from the ankle injury that ruled him out of the Champions Trophy and the New Zealand tour. He has rejoined training and is preparing to make his return to competitive cricket.
