Babar Azam's father pens down a heartfelt note before departure for Umrah

Pakistan's national skipper, Babar Azam, has left for Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah.

Sharing a heartfelt note on Twitter, Babar Azam's father, Azam Siddiqui, announced the great news about his son leaving for the non-mandatory lesser pilgrimage made by Muslims to Mecca.

"Before departure for Umrah, this photo was taken with love for the fans," Siddiqui wrote.

حضور ایسا کوئ انتظام ھو جاے :: سلام کے لیے حاضر غلام ھو جاے :: یا اللہ بابر تیرے گھر آ رھا ھے نبی کا در بلاُ رھا ھے تیرا مال تیرے گھر اللہ اکبر عمرہ روانگی سے پہلے پیار سے بنای یہ تصور محبت والوں کے نام pic.twitter.com/VMGn2CM9CB

Last year, Babar shared a photo on his social media handle, while he was in the holy city of Madina and was wearing a traditional Arabic dress.

Babar was rested from the recently concluded Afghanistan series, which Pakistan lost by 1-2. Babar is expected to return to lead T20I and ODI squads in the home series against New Zealand in April.
