Pakistan all-format skipper Babar Azam has expressed gratitude towards Karachi Kings, a Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise, for the love and support he received during his time with the team.
The right-handed batter, who played for Karachi Kings in PSL, has bid adieu to the franchise and joined Peshawar Zalmi.
However, he gave a message to the Kings fans who may have felt disheartened by the skipper's exit.
Taking to Twitter, the star batter thanked the team's owner, management and players.
"It's been a wonderful journey with Karachi Kings. I am grateful for all the love, support, and lessons and wish you the very best," he wrote.
"To all Karachi fans, aap hamare the or hamesha rahayn ge [you were mine and will always be mine]," Babar added.
Babar represented Islamabad United in the inaugural edition of the PSL, but was moved to Kings ahead of the PSL 2017 players' draft. Since then, he represented the Kings in six PSL editions and also captained the franchise this year.
The tournament will run from February 9 to March 19 next year and will be played at four venues — Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi and Multan.
