Former Pakistan Test cricketer Mohammad Khalil’s 10-month-old daughter has tragically died after being electrocuted at home.
According to sources, the infant was playing at home when she came into contact with an electrical source and suffered a fatal electric shock. Mohammad Khalil confirmed the heartbreaking incident.
Khalil was in the United States for a private engagement when he received the news of his daughter’s death. He immediately departed to return home and be with his family.
In the past, several players and coaches have expressed concerns about the quality of the temporary natural grass at the stadium.
It is worth mentioning here that former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Khalil, a left-arm medium pacer, had one of the most unusual journeys to international cricket. Despite having played only six first-class matches, he earned a place in Pakistan’s squad for the 2003-04 Test series against Bangladesh.
His rapid rise came after an impressive domestic season in which he claimed 14 wickets in just three first-class matches, convincing the selectors of his potential. Although he was included in the squad for the Bangladesh series, he did not make his international debut at that time.
Khalil eventually made his Test debut against Australia in December 2004. However, his start at the highest level proved difficult. He went wicketless in his first two Test appearances and was subsequently dropped from the national side.
Several years later, Khalil revived his career with an outstanding performance in the 2010-11 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, where his consistent bowling once again caught the attention of the selectors. His domestic success earned him a recall to Pakistan’s squad for the 2011-12 tour of Bangladesh, replacing the injured fast bowler Junaid Khan. The selection marked his return to the national team after a lengthy absence.
