Karachi: Pacer Naseem Shah, who was part of the Quetta Gladiators’ squad for sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), expressed his regret after he was out of the Abu Dhabi leg as he violated COVID-19 protocols.
The 18-year-old Naseem tweeted where he missed his late mother, who passed away in 2019 when the pacer was with Pakistan’s national side on a tour of Australia.
“I worked hard and was passionate about PSL. I followed the instructions by viewing all the messages in the group. I don’t know how I missed this message,” Naseem wrote.
امیں نے بہت محنت کی اور پPSL کے لئے پرجوش تھا- میں گروپ کے تمام میسجز دیکھ کر ہدایات پوری کرتا ہوں۔ پتہ نہیں کہ اس میسج کو کیسے مس کر گیا۔ میں کرکٹ کھیلنا چاہتا ہوں کرکٹ میری زندگی ہے اور میں بیان نہیں کر سکتا کہ کیسا محسوس کر رہا ہوں۔ اللہ مجھے مضبوط بنائے گا اور میں واپس آؤں گا pic.twitter.com/SfqGBsvmUf

“I want to play cricket as it is my life. I can’t describe how I am feeling right now. Allah will make me strong. I will make a comeback,” he concluded.
It must be noted all participants, who were bound to travel to Abu Dhabi via chartered planes were directed to submit the negative reports of PCR tests taken not more than 48 hours prior to arrival.
However, Naseem presented the test reports conducted on May 18. On the recommendation of the independent Medical Advisory Panel for PSL, the pacer was dropped out from the lineup flying to Abu Dhabi.
