The owner helped me a lot which helped the team to win many local tournaments,” he added.

Recently, he decided to fulfill his dream of playing for Pakistan, leading to the termination of his contract with the ECB and a subsequent five-year ban from playing any form of cricket in the UAE. He is anticipated to be part of the starting XI in the first T20I, scheduled to take place in Rawalpindi.Entertainment
