RBCC’s most honoured player - Club Captain, highest runs, most wickets National team captain, head coach – these just some of the reasons you were awarded life membership of the club.
Arriving from Paksitan aged just 18 years old you made the club your home and its members became family. The club supported you in your time of need and you repaid them a thousandfold in the dedication, love and respect you gave the club and your teammates over 40 years.
It was a privilege to play alongside you, I always felt we could win the game and invariably we did. You had one of the best cricket brains I ever met.
In recent years, what a joy its been to coach the juniors together with you. I would focus on the basics but it was you who could spot the potential and nurture their talent. So many kids developed not just in to fine cricketers but became fine individuals under your tutelage.
You leave behind a gaping hole which can’t be filled; amongst your family who made you so proud and were in turn so proud of you, and all of us who have known you and shared a part of life together.
I will miss your delicious food, the huge welcoming smile greeting me each time at the club, your confidence in club matters, but most of all for your friendship. Thank you for the memories.
Rest in peace.
