A video shared on Instagram captures the right-handed batter spending time in the open area near the Kaaba.

The clip, accompanied by the caption "Alhamdulillah," shows Babar in a moment of reflection during his visit to the holy site.

The right-handed batter is set to return to Pakistan on March 15, after which he will begin preparations for the upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s ODI captain Mohammad Rizwan and fast bowler Naseem Shah are also in Saudi Arabia performing Umrah during Ramadan.

The Pakistan squad will soon regroup for training ahead of the New Zealand series, where Babar will be a key part of the middle order.
