I am proud to be the father of Yusuf and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Irfan-Pathan-c1601: says Mehmood Khan Pathan
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mehmood-Khan-c75567 Pathan, father of Indian cricketers Yusuf and Irfan Pathan, has said that he is proud of his sons because they made their names at the international level.
Both Irfan and Yusuf are currently playing in the fourth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) representing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Knight-c71599 Riders respectively.
While expressing his pride for his sons, Mehmood said that he saw Yusuf and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Irfan-c64444 play against each other in childhood and now it feels good when both are up against each other representing their respective franchises.
He added that Yusuf was under pressure as he was not performing up to the mark in the initial stages of the IPL but it is good to see him do well against Deccan Chargers. Mehmood went on to say that he is a proud father because his sons got selected to play
for India out of a huge population.
Mehmood said, “I am proud of my sons. Yusuf batted well in the DC vs KKR match. As a father I obviously feel very good. He was under some pressure from some time, but he got over it today. They did play against each other when they were kids. So it feels
nice to see them play again on the same field. I feel very happy that out of a billion people, my sons have made a name for themselves. That is all I need.”
Yusuf has established himself as a permanent member of India’s limited overs squad and he was also a part of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s world cup winning campaign earlier this year.
Irfan on the other hand emerged as a huge find for India back in 2004 as he rocked the world with his ability to swing the ball, however the left-arm medium pacer went through a decline of form and is currently out of the Indian team since the last couple
of years.
On a question regarding the marriage of his sons, Mehmood said, “Yes we do keep getting a lot of proposals. Earlier, the boys didn’t want to settle down. Now, we are looking for a bride for Yusuf.”
