Asia Cup 2022 None of us supported him - Naseem Shah s father opens up on Pakistani pacer s struggles while growing up

By Aditya Suketu Desai Modified 11 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Naseem Shah has picked up six wickets from four matches in Asia Cup 2022 Naseem Shah has received immense appreciation from all quarters for his spirited performances in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022. However, the Pakistan pacer had to go against the will of his family to follow his cricketing dream. Speaking to a Pakistani TV channel, Naseem's father, Abbas Shah, recently revealed that he was opposed to his son pursuing a career in cricket. He disclosed that he even used to hit him at times for neglecting studies. Abbas mentioned that it was only Naseem's brother who supported him by sending him money secretly. He further added that the pacer would often say that he would one day play for Pakistan, only to be laughed at by family members. He stated: "I beat Naseem many times for playing cricket, asking him to focus on his studies instead. None of us supported Naseem, only his brother would secretly give him money. "When his mother was alive, he used to say that one day I will play for Pakistan. We used to laugh saying how will a man from Dir join the Pakistan team."

He added: "He thinks of her and cries a lot. He says if mother was here, she would have been very happy to see me in the Pakistan kit." Naseem was in Australia with the Pakistan team when he got the news of his mother's demise. The speedster decided against returning to his country and stayed back with the team. He made his Test debut a few days later against the Australian side in Brisbane.
