Haris Rauf, the fast bowler of the national cricket team, told the story of the difficult period of his life.
Popular cricket website ESPNcricinfo has made a documentary on Haris Rauf’s troubled life before becoming a cricketer.
Haris Rauf was born to a welder in Rawalpindi, Pakistan and is the eldest among his 7 siblings.
In the documentary film, Haris Rauf, talking about the difficult conditions of his life before becoming a cricketer, has revealed that I have been beaten a lot by my father for playing cricket. I have been beaten but still I used to play cricket.
The fast bowler said that I have been playing cricket since I was four or five years old. I used to play cricket with boys in my neighborhood. If it was done, they would go to the third street.
He said that the bad economic situation is a major problem for everyone in Pakistan, so my father and uncle used to live in the same small house, so when they had to give rooms after the marriages of the uncles, such situations happened. That we had to sleep in the kitchen too.
Haris Rauf said that then in such a situation we shifted to another house. There was a cricket ground nearby where first class cricket was played and famous cricketers used to come there. I used to see them but it is obvious that when I did not have support from home to play cricket so I could not go to the club and play cricket only tap ball cricket.
“I used to play tape ball cricket very well, so I started playing tape ball cricket at a professional level, I used to play only to pay my university fees and also sell Namco in the market on Sundays,” said Fosb Bowler. .
He said that playing tap ball cricket can save 2 to 2.5 lakh rupees a month, so I used to have so much money, I used to give some of it to my mother and keep the rest for the time of need. But my father did not know that I earn so much money.
Haris Rauf said that my mother’s dream was to have our own house, so I used to save money thinking that I could invest in a good place so that we could build our own house.
He also told that today I have a house, I have a car, when I bought a car, tears came to Abu’s eyes and he said that I never had the right to sit in it, if my family is happy. So I am happy and it is a matter of pride for me.
