Pakistan cricket team star batter was floored in the nets after being hit in the groin area by bowler Khurram Shehzad. The incident has occurred just a week away from the PAK vs BAN Test series scheduled to commence from August 21. In a video shared by the team on social media, Azam is seen going down to his haunches in pain after being struck in the box.

In the video, Babar Azam could be seen going down after the delivery hit his groin area. After being down for a couple of minutes, he attempts to recuperate with some stretches. Azam is then seen struggling to face the bowler in the net, still reeling under the effect of the impact of the delivery. He was bowled out a few deliveries later.
Babar Azam will hope to find his way back to form as Pakistan kick off an hectic international schedule with the series against Bangladesh.
