Pakistan’s former captain, Babar Azam, turns 30 today, and cricketers from around the world are showering him with heartfelt birthday messages.
Though Babar has achieved numerous milestones in his career, this special day arrives during a challenging phase for the star batter. Once ranked among the top in all formats and a key figure in Pakistan’s success, Babar has recently faced a dip in his form, particularly in Test cricket, causing his ranking to slide.

In celebration, several of his teammates took to social media to share their best wishes.
Shaheen Afridi, who is also on rest during the Test series against England, shared his wishes via Instagram Story, stating,
“Wishing you a great year ahead.”

Shadab Khan posted a photo of himself and Babar
holding their green jerseys, writing, “Happy birthday @babarazam. May you have a great year on & off the field. Everyone knows your batting class.”

All-rounder Salman Ali Agha expressed his love for Babar with an Instagram post, wishing him a “wonderful year ahead.”

Haris Rauf echoed similar sentiments, calling him a “great hoo” and adding, “Happy birthday brother.”
Pacer Aamir Jamal expressed hope that Babar would continue to “shine and shine more than ever.”
