Former Pakistan Skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed has said that he does not want his son to opt for cricket as a career for sake of his mental well-being.
The wicket-keeper batsman, an interview to ARY Digital, said that although his son Abdullah is interested in cricket, he does not want him to be a professional cricketer. “I only care for my son’s mental well-being and will never want Abdullah go through the stress professional cricketers’ experience.”
Sarfaraz said he does not want little Abdullah to experience what he has had to bear in the ups and downs of his 15 year-long cricketing career.
Sarfaraz Ahmed made his international debut against archrival India in Jaipur in 2007 but could not find a permanent spot in the team until 2014.
He led the Pakistani team to the historic win of ICC Champions Trophy of 2017, beating archrivals India in the final.
The wicket-keeper batsman was removed from T20I and ODI captaincy and recently was dropped from the T20I and ODI squads against Australia.
