WATCH: Frustrated Babar kicks stumps after being dismissed during practice

Pakistan’s ace batter Babar Azam on Saturday, kicked the stumps after being dismissed in the net session for the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, starting from August 21.

In a video that went viral on social media, Babar can be seen visibly frustrated after being dismissed by a net bowler.

The right-arm pacer bowled a shorter delivery wide outside off. Babar tried to reach the ball but only managed to edge it behind, prompting a celebration from the bowler, who raised his hands during his follow-through.

Meanwhile, Babar Azam lost his cool as he turned back and kicked the off-stump, which went for a cartwheel.

However, the star batter picked up the stump and put it in its place and continued to practice.

Earlier, Babar was seen having a hard time facing the Test pacer Khurram Shahzad during a practice session ahead of the Bangladesh series.

During a recent training session in Pakistan, a video captured the moment when Babar Azam was hit in the groin by Khurram Shahzad’s delivery.

The star batter appeared to be in some discomfort as Khurram reached out to him, asking if he was fine. After taking a moment to recover and performing some stretches, Babar returned to his practice.

However, Khurram subsequently bowled an unplayable delivery that Babar failed to make contact with, resulting in the ball striking his stumps.

Pakistan squad for first Test against Bangladesh: Shan Masood (c), Saud Shakeel, Aamir Jamal (subject to fitness), Abdullah Shafique, Babar Azam, Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Muhammad Hurraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk), Shaheen Shah Afridi.
