Pakistan Lawyer Takes Babar Azam and Co. to Court Over Treason Allegations Mid-T20 World Cup 2024
Pakistan is currently on the brink of elimination in the T20 World Cup 2024.
The Pakistan cricket team’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign has taken a dramatic turn off the field, with a lawyer in Gujranwala, Pakistan filing a petition against the team. This comes after a string of disappointing results left the team on the brink of elimination.
Pakistan’s tournament began with a bitter super-over defeat to the USA, followed by a loss to arch-rivals India despite bowling them out cheaply. While they managed a win against Canada, their qualification for the Super Eight stage now seems unlikely.
The lawyer’s petition, filed in the District and Sessions Court of Gujranwala, seeks treason charges against the players for their poor performances. The petitioner views these performances as a waste of public money and a betrayal of the nation’s trust. The petition reportedly names all players, the team management, and the coach.
At the center of this storm is Captain Babar Azam, who is under scrutiny for his underwhelming performance in the tournament so far. He has failed to deliver with the bat in the first two crucial matches against USA and India. While the bowling unit has shown flashes of brilliance, it’s the team’s overall batting that has let them down.
