In 2013, I was selected for Jammu and Kashmir Para cricket team. You remain my inspiration.” He further said, “I played Nationals in Delhi in 2013 and 2018. I played an international match against Bangladesh. After that I played cricket in Nepal, Sharjah and Dubai.

I thank God for giving me the strength to play cricket.” Sachin had promised to meet Aamir last month and he fulfilled this promise by meeting Aamir.
