Along with Azam Khan, the viral video also features Pakistan captain Babar Azam.

Pakistan wicket-keeper batter Azam Khan has landed in hot water after he was spotted wiping sweat on his forehead with US dollar notes.

The Babar Azam-led Pakistan team are currently in England for a four-match T20I series. The first game of the series at Headingley was washed out due to persistent rain on May 22. The second T20I is all set to be played at Edgbaston in Birmingham on May 25. The last two matches are scheduled for May 28 and May 30 in Cardiff and London respectively.

After this, both nations will take part in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024, which will be played in June. The marquee global tournament will be jointly hosted by the West Indies and the USA.
