In a shocking turn of events, an up-and-coming fast bowler from Hyderabad in the southern Sindh Province attempted suicide after not being selected to be part of his home team in the PCB's inter-city championship.
Shoaib, a fast bowler, slashed his wrist and was rushed to hospital by his family members in precarious condition on Tuesday.
A family member said after he was not picked by his coach in the trials for the inter-city championship, Shoaib remained confined to his room due to depression.
“We found him in the bathroom of his room with his wrist cut and him unconscious and immediately rushed him to hospital where he is still in critical condition,” the family member said.
In February 2018, Under-19 cricketer Muhammad Zaryab from Karachi hanged himself to death at his home after being dropped from the city under-19 team.
