Arshad Khan now drives taxi in Sydney

Remember Arshad Khan? The Pakistan off-spinner, who made his debut against West Indies in 1997-98? Arshad Khan played 9 Tests and 58 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) in between 1997 to 2006. On Monday, a social media user, Ganesh Birle, shared the information on Facebook that the former Pakistan cricketer was seen driving Uber Taxi in Sydney. In a sad story shared on Facebook by Birle, he wrote, “He was the driver of our cab and we started chatting." 

During the conversation, Arshad said, "I have been to Hyderabad many times when I was playing for Lahore Badshahs something in ICL."

"I asked him his full name and then I was shocked to see his face which I could partially recognize," Birle said.

“He was avoiding the conversation all the time, but at the same time he couldn’t help but talk about his India connection."

Arshad last ODI and Test matches came against India in Rawalpindi and Bangalore. He picked up 32 Test wickets and 56 in ODIs.
