WATCH: Babar Azam kicks stumps in frustration after being dismissed in nets

Babar Azam kicks stumps, Babar Azam

Pakistan’s white-ball captain Babar Azam kicked the stumps in frustration after being dismissed in the net session as the national side is gearing up for the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, starting from August 21.

In a video that went viral on social media, Babar Azam can be seen visibly frustrated after being dismissed by a right-arm fast bowler.

The net pacer bowled a shorter delivery wide outside off. Babar Azam tried to reach the ball but only managed to edge it behind, prompting a celebration from the bowler, who raised his hands during his follow-through.

After being dismissed, Babar Azam lost his cool as he turned back and kicked the off-stump, which went for a cartwheel.

The white-ball captain soon realized his mistake, picking up the stump to put it in its place.

Earlier, Babar was seen having a hard time facing the Test pacer Khurram Shahzad during a practice session ahead of the Bangladesh series.

During a recent training session in Pakistan, a video captured the moment when Babar Azam was hit in the groin by Khurram Shahzad’s delivery.

The star batter appeared to be in some discomfort as Khurram reached out to him, asking if he was fine. After taking a moment to recover and performing some stretches, Babar returned to his practice.

However, Khurram subsequently bowled an unplayable delivery that Babar failed to make contact with, resulting in the ball striking his stumps.

War-torn Sudan faces ‘catastrophe’ as UN runs out of funds

Of nearly 25 million people in need, the United Nations has only been able to reach a fraction, according to the head of the UN’s humanitarian response in war-torn Sudan. But assistance to even those four million could soon stop, Clementine Nkweta-Salami told AFP in an interview, if the chronic lack of funding continues. The UN’s humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan says eight months into a conflict between rival generals that has torn the country apart, the situation is “catastrophic”. Aid workers have called it the “forgotten war”. On April 15, army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, turned their weapons on each other. Two years after the former allies co-engineered a 2021 coup sidelining civilians from power, their forces have killed more than 12,190 people in their brutal struggle for power, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). That figure is only a c
