Emraan Tahir shifted from PAK to Africa to get Indian girl
What should not be done with love. This madness sometimes forces the Diwans to cross the seven seas. Such is the story of South African leg-spinner Imran Tahir. Who had reached South Africa from Pakistan in search of their love.
South African veteran spinner Imran Tahir turns 41 today (27 March). He was born on 27 March 1979 in Lahore (Punjab). He had announced his retirement from international cricket during the World Cup in July last year.
Imran Tahir represented South Africa in 20 Tests, 107 ODIs and 38 T20 Internationals. He took a total of 293 wickets in international cricket. After taking wickets, every fan is aware of his trademark celebration on the field.
In 1998, Imran Tahir went on a tour of South Africa with the Pakistan Under-19 team. During the same tour, he gave his heart to Sumaiya Dildar, an Indian-origin girl set in South Africa. Then what was the passion of love so much that in 2006 Tahir decided to shift to South Africa.
In an interview, Emraan Tahir said that the first few years were very struggling in South Africa. He said that he got a lot of support from his friend and player of South Africa’s home team Ghulam Bodi.
After the shift to South Africa, Tahir started playing domestic cricket there. He got the result of consistently doing well in domestic matches and in 2011 he got a chance to play for South Africa for the first time.
He was initially seen as a test specialist bowler. But with his hard work, he not only made a place in the ODI team, but also achieved successes.
The Corona epidemic has brought the sports world to a complete standstill. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has postponed all qualifying events that were to be held before June 30.
So far, more than 21,000 people have lost their lives worldwide due to the outbreak of Corono virus. More than 4,00,000 people are infected with this deadly virus.
ICC Head of Events Chris Tetley said that this step has been taken due to significant global health concerns in the current situation and the restrictions imposed by governments worldwide.
