Financially distressed national player

Former cricketer Arshad Khan

The game of cricket is said to be very easy to acquire wealth. Many cricketers rose from the floor to the throne after the players received bonuses from the board in addition to income, huge compensation in case of participation in domestic and foreign leagues, attractive privileges. But one Pakistani cricketer Arshad Khan retired from cricket. Later, he was forced to take a taxi to Sydney, Australia to support his family. Recently, it was revealed on social media by an Indian person that Pakistani cricketer Arshad Khan has been forced to make a living by driving a taxi in Australia due to difficult financial situation. He was considered one of the best off-spinners in the country.

I played an important role in the victory of Pakistan with my bowling. He was first played in a match against West Indies in 1997-98, the same season in which he defeated Pakistan in the Asian Champions Trophy held in Dhaka. During his career, he played 9 Tests and 58 ODIs. In 2005 he played a significant role in the home series against India and in 2006 he took the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar in the last match of his career.

After saying goodbye to cricket, he was living a life of anonymity and neither the Pakistan Cricket Board nor any cricketer felt the need to warn him, even though he was ignored by the media. A few months ago, it was revealed on social media by Ganesh, an Indian citizen, that Pakistani cricketer Arshad Khan has been forced to make a living by driving a taxi in Australia due to difficult financial situation. He said that the other day he was sitting in a Uber taxi in Sydney, Australia. When he started talking to the taxi driver, after hearing about his connection with India, he said that he belonged to Peshawar, Pakistan. Is based in Sydney, the capital of Australia. He has visited Hyderabad, India several times, where he has been representing Lahore Badshah in the Indian Cricket League. According to the Indian citizen, when he found out the name of the taxi driver and looked at his face carefully, he was shocked to know that the said taxi driver was former Pakistani cricketer Arshad Khan. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has said that the news released on social media by an Indian citizen is mere propaganda against Pakistan. The house is there and their children are studying in higher education institutions. They have bought many cars which are rented and run. They have a regular registered company and they are also doing level three coaching courses. During the last World Cup, many national cricketers were his guests during the match in Sydney. Regardless of how true Ganesh's news or the PCB's explanation is, the fact is that former national cricketers are driving taxis abroad.

Tahir Shah

The news circulating on social media about Arshad Khan has been termed as Indian propaganda by the cricket authorities but what about the former cricket coach Tahir Shah who died while rubbing his hands after being ignored by them. He gave a gift of more than five thousand cricketers to Pakistan cricket through his coaching. He set three important records in domestic matches. He also set a record of 19 sixes in the LCCA match against Rawalpindi. The coach, who has made a name for himself in the country, is trying to feed his family despite suffering from brain hemorrhage. While worried about the heavy costs of the disease. Tahir Shah sometimes remembers his more than five thousand students in cricket and sometimes he looks at the trophies, shields and certificates of his achievements. Tahir Shah has been involved in the game of cricket in one way or another since 1969. He retired from a national bank as a Cricketer Press Liaison and Public Relations Officer in 1997 at the Medical Ground. In addition, a pension of Rs. 4150 has been fixed which is the same till now. He has submitted the World Cup memorabilia and honorary shirts and bats given by his student, Misbah-ul-Haq for auction. Tahir Shah's sister passed away due to cancer, father also died due to kidney cancer. They are in the throes of death. Tahir Shah himself is seriously ill but his accumulated capital has been spent on medical treatment of his sister and father, and now he is in dire need of money. Lahore Region Cricket chief Khawaja Nadeem Ahmed helped Tahir Shah but he needed a permanent source of income, which would enable him to cope with his illness and economic situation.
