Here’s what the letter reads:
Babar Azam is my favorite cricket player. He was born in Pakistan and he is 25. I met him after my operation on my feet. He was kind to me. He is the best 2020 batsman. He’s the captain of Pakistan. He hits big sixes and one day I saw [him hitting sixes].
Babar was quick to respond to the little fellow, thanking the ‘rockstar’ for his kind note.
Hey Oscar, thank you so much for such a kind note. I am so proud of you buddy. You are a rockstar. Study hard & play even harder champ! Look forward to meet you. #RiseAndRise https://t.co/ZKEVVhwM3b
