Naseem Shah reveals he was on medication for a year after mother’s death

Pakistani pacer Naseem Shah has revealed that he suffered from mental stress after the death of his mother and took medication for a year to combat it.

Shah’s mother passed away a day before he made his international debut in Brisbane, Australia in 2019. The fast bowler was just 16 years of age at the time.

In an interview given to Samaa, Naseem Shah said that even today he can’t talk about his mother’s memories. The fast bowler further said that he still talks to her in solitude, adding that she was the only person with whom he shared details of his life, whether good or bad.

Talking about dealing with his mother’s death, Naseem said that it was such a trying time in his life that he had to take medication to relax. The heartthrob said he avoids visiting his home because it reminds him of his mother. Additionally, he revealed that he envisions his mother sitting in front of him.
