Pakistan cricket team's captain Babar Azam has been accused of sexual abuse by a woman, who has made several startling claims about the cricketer.

The woman has also alleged that Babar Azam physically abused her after getting her pregnant. She reportedly stated, "He (Babar Azam) promised to marry me, he got me pregnant, he beat me up, he threatened me and he used me. I have known Babar since the time he had nothing to do with cricket. He was from a poor household. I hope all my brothers and sisters here are going to help me get justice so that no daughter gets to go through what I have. Babar and I have grown up in the same colony, we used to stay together. He was my school friend. In 2010, he proposed to me and I accepted his proposal. He, in fact, proposed to me after coming to my house. As time progressed, our understanding got better. We had planned to get married and informed our families too but they refused. Then Babar and I decided to have a court marriage. In 2011, Babar and I eloped and having promised me of marriage, kept me at rented places. During that time, I kept asking him to get married but he said 'we are not in a position to. With time, we will get married'."

The woman then claimed that Babar, aided by his friends, got her abortion done. "In 2017, I made a police complaint against Babar at the Nasirabad station. He has exploited me for 10 years, both physically and sexually," she said, adding that the cricketer had even threatened to kill her. Babar is currently in New Zealand for the international matches, set to happen in the second half of December.
