Video Viral: Former Pakistan Cricketer Turns Van Driver To Make A Living 

A video is making the rounds on social media, where a former Pakistan domestic cricket player has been seen driving a pick up van. He has been identified as Fazal Subhan, who is trying his best to make ends meet. 

This video was posted by a Pakistani journalist, who questioned Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for developmental cricket in the country. In the video, the 31-year-old former cricketer is seen speaking about his struggles and issues he faces everyday. 

After the video went viral, Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Hafeez, shared it on his Twitter handle with a caption: “So sad Really, Like him & (sic) Many others are suffering, New system will look after 200 players but 1000s of cricketers & management staff are unemployed because of this new model.”

“I don’t know who will take the responsibility of this unemployment of cricket fraternity, for all the victims,” he added.

Meanwhile, in the video which is currently making headlines former cricketer Subhan can be seen expressing his ordeal saying, “Yes, I drive this [pickup] for bhara (fare). This is seasonal work. Some days there is a lot of work, and sometimes there is nothing for 10 days". 

“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," he further added.

Further speaking on his hard struggling life, he asserted that there is no choice but have to do something for the children. "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," he finally stated.
