Sajid’s real struggle began at the age of 8
Sajid received applause everywhere today. But he went through a lot of struggles in his life to get here. His true story begins when he was 8 years old. He lost his father in childhood. Sajid has 2 brothers. Drive a rickshaw. Another brother owned a grocery store.
In a video by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Sajid said those who don’t have fathers, they know what they are going through. During college, he often made a living through sports. The handle used to hold the bat in place. He earned income from this.
Forced to work at Dubai Airport
After U-18, Sajid faced a lot of problems in playing cricket further. There are no open spots on his team. Then he took a 6-month visa and went to Dubai. He works at the airport there. He used to work for 5 days and play cricket for 2 days. During this time, his mother recalled him to his native Pakistan.
After coming to Pakistan, he was selected in the second level. During this time, Mr. Imran Sr. recognized him and gave him shoes to play with. Sajid has taken 6 wickets in 4 overs in the home match. It was from here that his career took off.
Many times he sat at his mother’s feet and cried.
In the second match, Sajid scored 96 runs with the bat and took 13 wickets in two innings. The opponent in this game is Balochistan. Sajid was then selected for first grade. His first match was also against Balochistan, in which he took 8 wickets. Sajid was also voted the best player of the tournament. Sajid said in PCB’s video that wherever he is today, it is because of his mother. Even today, sitting at his mother’s feet, he gets emotional and cries after his many failures.
Before the Multan Test match against England, Sajid Khan had played 8 Test matches for Pakistan in which he took 25 wickets. And he took 7 wickets in the first innings of the Multan Test against England. In the second innings, not one wicket was taken until the end of the third day (October 17).
