KARACHI: Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam has donated his bat to the prestigious Long Room at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), a space that showcases the bats of cricket legends such as Don Bradman, David Boon, Jack Hobbs, and Brian Lara. The MCG management invited Azam to contribute the bat he used during Pakistan’s T20 World Cup final against England in 2022. He graciously accepted the invitation.
Reflecting on the honour, Azam spoke about the significance of playing at the MCG. “Honestly, it is an honour for me, and this means a lot because I played a World Cup final with this bat,” he said after donating the bat on Friday. “I have many good memories here at the MCG. It is one of the best grounds of my career. Having my bat placed here alongside those of great players is truly a privilege.”
