'Exploited me for 10 years': Woman accuses Pakistan captain Babar Azam of sexual abuse

Pakistan cricket team's on and off the field problems are not looking to get sorted anytime soon. In a shocking revelation, a Pakistani woman has accused their national team captain Babar Azam of sexually exploiting her for 10 years and gave  false promise of marriage.

In an explosive press conference held on Saturday, the said woman revealed that they were school friends and said that she always backed Babar and helped him financially too in his tough times.

According to her, Babar had proposed her for marriage in 2010 and eloped for a court wedding the next year. But Babar, after rising to fame in 2012 - leading Pakistan in U-19 World Cup and getting a national call-up, changed his mind.

So this lady has made accusations against Babar Azam "he promised to marry me, he got me pregnant, he beat me up, he threatened me and he used me"

Elaborating further, the woman said that Babar had threatened to kill her when she went to the police, accusing him of physically assaulting her. The woman also claimed that she paid for Babar's expenses.

It remains to be seen what action Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) takes after these shocking disclosures as Babar is currently in New Zealand with the cricket team.

Babar was made Pakistan captain in all the three formats before the team left for the New Zealand tour, earlier this month.

On the tour, however, 7 of the Pakistani players have tested positive for COVID-19 and the team has been warned by the New Zealand government for breaking the protocols.
