Personal Information of Legend Part 2
First Step Towards Cricket
Shoaib’s entrance in Cricket was not planned, . He started playing cricket at the age of ‘20’ and that too with a tennis ball. As per Shoaib , he used to play bet matches where a bet of 200 pkr was put on a match and the winner could take the money. One day just by chance Isthaq Shah, the President of Rawalpindi Real Cricket association was watching the game. He was impressed with Akhtar’s bowling and offered him to play in a Test match against New-Zealand. Akhtar refused initially as he had never played International Cricket nor had he ever played with the real hard cricket ball but Mr. Isthaq forced him and the rest is history. It is quiet difficult to digest but Akhtar played with the actual cricket ball in his very first international cricket match. Stay connect for Part 3 |
