"I worked so hard to play for Pakistan. During departmental cricket, we were drawing a salary of Rs 100,000 but since the departments have shut down we are down to Rs 30,000-Rs 35,000, which is not enough to survive," he added. He said: "I am grateful that at least I have this job right now because of the way things are, who knows if I would even have this tomorrow.
