New Zealand’s rising all-rounder Muhammad Abbas: Born in Pakistan, grew up watching Akram, living his Black Caps dream | Cricket News

New Zealand’s rising all-rounder Muhammad Abbas: Born in Pakistan, grew up watching Akram, living his Black Caps dream | Cricket News

So early that there are no memories, no images of Pakistan left in his mind from that first journey to New Zealand. Yet both countries continue to shape who he is — one through blood, the other through upbringing, and cricket through identity. “We came to Auckland with him when I was maybe one,” Abbas told The Indian Express. “I actually don’t have a lot of memory or any recollection of that because I was too young. But I’ve grown up most of my life in New Zealand.” That sentence carries a quiet duality. Born in Lahore, raised in New Zealand, and now wearing the Black Caps cap in ODIs, the 22-year-old’s journey has been shaped as much by geography as by emotion. But long before selection calls or international caps, there was one constant in his cricketing life — his father. “Definitely my dad,” he says without hesitation. “He’s a bowling coach, and I’ve done all my training with him growing up. He introduced cricket to me, coached me, and we did everything together. …

Akeal Hosein grew up dodging gunfire in the Caribbean. His dream was to play like Jadeja. Then he replaced him at CSK.

Akeal Hosein grew up dodging gunfire in the Caribbean. His dream was to play like Jadeja. Then he replaced him at CSK.

One afternoon in Laventille, Akeal Hosein was walking outside with friends when a red light appeared on one of their shirts. They spent minutes trying to brush it off. Then they understood what it was. They ran. Laventille is a neighbourhood in Port of Spain, Trinidad, divided by a single road. On one side, the Muslim area. On the other, Rasta City — territory controlled by a gang called Six. For years the road between them was a war zone. The buildings still carry it: walls riddled with bullet holes, windows blown out and never repaired, houses burned and abandoned. At its worst, by local count, five or six bodies dropped in a day. “Gangs would war like 100 feet apart,” Hosein told ESPN. “That’s the separation of different turfs. You’re here, I’m right down there and we’re having a beef. You could be caught up in a stray at any point of time.” He grew up inside all of this. It was just there, he said. Everything right around you. Once, he pulled out …

Aamir Khan recalls growing up in a conservative family. (AFP) Aamir Khan says he barely watches films Calling it a strange thing about himself, Aamir said that he has always been more inclined towards reading than watching films. He said, “This is how I’ve been since childhood. I’ve been a reader. The only films I’ve watched consistently are the black and white films, or the really old films, which used to come on Doordarshan. Back in the day, I grew up in a very conservative household. And my parents were very strict about watching films and all that. We were not allowed to watch films. So, at that time, I remember, if I had asked my mom if I …
