His Mother’s Death
Naseem Shah is that cricketer who played matches and fulfilled his cricket duties when his mother had just passed away. He was out of the country when his mother passed away. The flight logistics and customs regulations restricted him from coming back in time for his mother’s funeral. He kept on playing in the matches. He credits his mother for his career and was very attached to her, making this event even more tragic.
Not many know that #NaseemShah lost his mother the night before his test debut at 16, he played rather than going home. Watching him play for Pakistan was his mothers dream, sadly she couldn’t witness him in a Pakistan shirt, but yesterday over a billion cricket lovers did 🇵🇰❤️ pic.twitter.com/nUW2N8wRrR
