Pakistan cricket is always full of controversial headlines; be it former cricketers accusing each other on national Television or the unexpected and disrespected exit of the chief of the national cricket board. The uncertainties in the cricketing paradigm of Pakistan have always been a center of attraction in the media headlines among cricketing fans across the world.
Meanwhile, the former blistering Pakistan opener Imran Nazir has come up with a shocking and stunning revelation. Nazir revealed that someone poisoned him at the peak of his career. Later on, it was none other than the former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi, who had his back in the time of crisis. Afridi helped Nazir with all the money required for the treatment.
“When I recently got treated, including MRI and all, a statement was issued that I was given poison - mercury. It is a slow poison; it reaches your joint and damages them. For 8-10 years, all my joints were treated. All my joints had got damaged and for this reason, I suffered for almost 6-7 years. But even then, I prayed to God, ‘Please don’t make me bedridden’. And thankfully, that never happened," said Nazir in to star Pakistan YouTuber Nadir Ali in the latter’s official podcast.
“I used to walk around and all when people used to ask ‘You’re looking fine’. I doubted a lot of people but when and what did I eat, I cannot figure out. Because the poison doesn’t react instantly. It kills you for years. I still never wished badly for whoever did this. The person saving is better than the one who wants to kill," he added later.
"Within a day, my doctor received the money in his account"
Later on, the 2007 20-20 World Cup final’s star opener mentioned Afridi’s help that how the latter helped him when he was left with nothing in his bank account.
“He helped me in my time of need. I had nothing left when I met Shahid bhai. Within a day, my doctor received the money in his account. He said ‘No matter how much money is needed, my brother should get well’. He spent around 40-50 lakh," he concluded.
