But the real reason behind it was actually something else altogether.While Babar was fielding, a sea of the crowd rushed toward him, trying to take photographs. It was a clear case of a security lapse, as ground staff had to intervene and escort him safely into the dugout.Pavilion Post @CricinsightsX This is disappointing to see. PCB and authorities need better control over such situation Fans have every right to come and watch the game, but with kids flocking onto the pitch just to get selfie with Babar Azam, the match has been disrupted and Babar has had to leave the field Sep 30, 2026, 4:08 PM Babar was uncomfortable, and his security was compromised, which added to his frustration. So overall, the arrangements at the President Trophy weren’t up to the mark, and Babar Azam’s case is a shameful incident that put PCB in a bad light.Babar Azam fails in domestic cricket returnMeanwhile, in the President Trophy game between OGDCL and SBP, Babar Azam was dismissed on just 39 runs off 21 balls before Afaq Afridi dismissed him with an LBW wicket. He had to walk back in disappointment despite getting a steady start.Notably, in the previous game against Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) in Abbottabad, he had scored 12 runs off 20 balls in the first innings and 4 runs in the second innings.This is important becamse Babar Azam is making his return in domestic cricket after nearly 7 years, but he has so far failed to impress. Certainly, pressure is increasing on him as, since his return as Test captain, Pakistan’s standards have just hit rock bottom due to repeated series losses, including a series sweep defeat against England.Hence, this President's Trophy organised by PCB is an opportunity for him to regain form and confidence before he returns back to international cricket in white colours.Also Read - Rohit Sharma Joins Elite Club; Completes 12,000 ODI Runs
