Pakistan has been a bastion of fast bowlers. But in recent times it has been seen that many players have moved to other countries. The biggest reason for this is the economic condition of the country. Muhammad Javad Ullah, who is currently doing wonders for UAE, also became a victim of similar circumstances. He was a fan of fast bowling since childhood but he had to struggle a lot to become a cricketer. At the age of 20, he had to leave the country and go to UAE to work. However, now he plays international cricket for UAE and is dreaming of becoming a bowler like Shoaib Akhtar. Let us know how this player's life changed after leaving Pakistan and going to UAE.
25 year old Muhammad Javad Ullah is a resident of Malakand district in Pakistan. He has 4 brothers and 2 sisters. Javad Ullah had been dreaming of becoming a cricketer since childhood. But he had to succumb to the responsibilities of his family. He told that he used to play cricket only with tennis balls in Pakistan. There was no one to guide them.
Apart from this, he also feared that there are so many talented players in the country that he would not get a chance. So he killed his dream and never joined the academy. During the Corona epidemic in 2020, it became difficult to manage the family's expenses. After this, Jawad Ullah was forced to leave Pakistan and go to UAE at the age of just 20. There he started working as an electrician.
To earn money in UAE, he used to work from morning till evening. His hours were spent in this. Therefore he could not get time to play cricket. Still, he used to spare 1-2 hours for himself and practice with a tennis ball. During this time, a friend named Sadiq saw him and advised him to play with the cricket ball. Obeying his advice, Javad Ullah started practicing with hard ball. Then a person noticed him and seeing his skills and talent, he offered him to play for his team. Then gradually his bowling improved and he started playing domestic tournaments. After his brilliant performance, he made a place in the UAE team.
In the year 2023, Javad Ullah got a chance to debut in the international match against Afghanistan. After that, he never looked back. Then he also got a chance to play in UAE's International T20 League. After this he started participating in the second league. Mohammad Aamir had praised his bowling during the T10 league. Javad Ullah says that he grew up watching bowlers like Shoaib Akhtar in Pakistan and is his big fan. He has always been interested in fast bowling and he also wants to bowl like Akhtar.
