Hasan Raza is a former Pakistani cricketer who represented his country between 1996 and 2005. At the age of 14, he was the youngest Pakistani player to join the cricket team squad. PCB initially chose him because of his outstanding under-19 performances.
Now, the youngest player to have represented Pakistan has made some bold claims that have left everyone in splits. He said the Bollywood movie “Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii” was based on his life. “Bollywood movie Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii was inspired by my real-life story,” former Pakistan batter Hasan Raza said as quoted by journalist Farid Khan.
I was part of a meeting where few people started discussing about match-fixing: Hasan Raza
Hasan Raza is the owner of cricket academies in Islamabad. Raza recently appeared on Nadir Ali’s podcast, where he discussed his match-fixing scandal.
Talking about it Hasan said, “I was part of a meeting where few people started discussing about match-fixing, I felt that there was something wrong going on, I refused to be part of that tournament, then, my videos were leaked after 6 months when I came back to Pakistan, I was about to play UAE cricket league then my scandal came to the light, when I was in India, few people approached me who were offering different deals about match-fixing, I came to know what they were upto so I just came back to Pakistan and after that, a lot of investigations happened, I have played for Pakistan, I was never into match-fixing, I was trapped because I was to play UAE league, PCB didn’t support me much but at least they heard me, my whole career was wrapped at the age of 24, I was treated bad, but I didn’t lose heart”
Talking about regaining his status, Hasan Raza said, “People started ignoring me, they didn’t use to pick my call up, I was only giving explanations to people about my match-fixing controversy, hats off to my wife and my mother who stood firm by my side, I then left the city, after that there was a time in my life when I was offered 40 thousand per month for the job of coach, and I was the one who saw boom in life so this downfall was unbearable for me, I then did struggle a lot, I opened my academies in Islamabad, it took me 7 years to get financially stable”
Here is how fans reacted to his statement
