Azam also had a special message for the Pakistan fans in the United Kingdom. He said the fans in the UK are always there to welcome the team to England. He added last time when Pakistan toured the nation, the fans were confined to their houses due to COVID-19 but he is happy that things have normalised and the fans will be cheering the team from the stadium. Babar also asked the fans back home and across the world to support the team. 

  "The biggest fanbase we have, after Pakistan, is in the UK," said the stellar batsman. "Whenever we come to England, cheering fans are present to support us from the airport to the hotels and the ground," he added.
