This story of 31-year-old got viral on social media. In which the player who once featured in the national U19 team was seen narrating his life agony. The cricketer claimed that this is happening with several other players who struggle to get their life on normal track. He played 40 First-Class matches amassing 2301 runs at an average of 32.87.

“I worked so hard to play for Pakistan. During departmental cricket, we were drawing a salary of Rs 100,000 but since the departments have shut down we are down to Rs 30,000-35,000, which is not enough to survive. I am grateful that at least I have this job right now because of the way things are, who knows if I would even have this tomorrow. We have no choice; we have to do something for our children,” the player quoted in his video.

Pakistan all-rounder, Mohammed Hafeez, took to his Twitter handle and had shown sympathy towards the player and wrote, “So sad Really, Like him & Many others suffering, New system will look after 200 players but 1000s of cricketers & management staff r Unemployed bcos of this new model, I don’t know who will take the responsibility of this unemployment of cricket fraternity, for all the victims.”

Actually, PCB is brought back into the criticism by journalists and fans. PCB recently limited the role of departmental teams in the country in April. After that various players have been brought back onto the streets to work and earn their daily wages.

Here are reactions from fans:

closing departmental cricket without providing alternative for the grass root cricketers not a good idea. Talented players from poor families won’t have future in the cricket anymore
