Pakistan cricket team skipper Babar Azam might be in thick soup as a woman has accused him of sexual abuse for almost a decade. In an sensational revelation made via a press conference by the woman, who claims to be Babar's school mate, she accused the Pakistani batting mainstay of exploiting her for 10 years. The women claimed that Babar had promised to marry her in 2010 but did not live up to his commitment after he rose in stature to become a top cricketer for Pakistan. Addressing a press conference in Pakistan on Saturday, the women said that Babar Azam proposed marriage to her as early as 2010 and the duo had eloped for a court wedding next year. However, she said Babar changed his mind. The woman added that she had supported the star Pakistani cricketer financially when the Pakistan skipper was finding his ground in competitive cricket. She also said Babar physically abused her and threatened her before she went to the police. Pakistan journalist Saj Sadiq shared a clip of the woman making the allegations.
