Today I’m a cricketer just because of my mother, because she was the one who always supported me as my father was totally against it. I remember when I was selected in the cricket team for the first time, my mother called me and said that I don’t know what happened but people are coming at home to congratulate me and I’m very happy.”
“When I went for my international debut, the night before that match the team management came to me and told me that my mother has passed away. I was just fainted at that moment and I was unable to understand that what actually happened. I tried my best to attend my mother’s funeral but unfortunately I could not as I was far away from my homeland”, added Naseem.
Naseem further said that “My father also asked me to stay there and play my international debut match as it was my dream and I did. It was the most difficult moment of my life.”
