The former player said he had a humble family background and his family wasn’t well off.
The house they lived in only had one room and his father was a laborer. His father earned Rs100 a day and had 8 people to feed at home.
Mushtaq Ahmed said, “I was obsessed with cricket but I didn’t have a bat, I used to play matches without shoes which often hurt my feet. My father got upset seeing this and bought me a bat and a proper cricket attire.”
He further added, “I often saw my father in secret working as a laborer in the Sahiwal grain market. When my father used to come home from work, seeing the limited food at home, my mother used to tell us to eat less but our father used to respond that he has already eaten so that we could eat properly.”
Admiring his father’s love for his children, Mushtaq Ahmed added, “My father did not eat for many nights so that he saved money to buy clothes and books for his children.”
Remembering his mother, Mushtaq Ahmed mentioned how she did not make new clothes for herself on countless occasions but for his sisters.
