Arshad Khan: From ex-Pakistan cricketer to Uber cabbie

Making his debut in 1997-98, former Pakistan cricketer Arshad Khan would have never imagined his life would have played out the way it did – driving a taxi in Australia.

A few days back, the tall Khan, was back in the spotlight when Ganesh Birle, who had apparently booked an Uber cab, posted a photo of the ex-cricketer’s profile as an Uber taxi driver in Sydney.

In his Facebook post, Birle recounted his brief encounter with the right-arm offbreak bowler:

“He was the driver of our cab and we started chatting, he told me that he is from Pakistan and lives in Sydney. Also that he has been to Hyderabad many times when he was playing for Lahore Badshahs something in ICL. After which I asked him his full name and then I was shocked to see his face which I could partially recognise. I shook his hand and left.

“He was avoiding the conversation all the time, but at the same time he couldn’t help but talk about his India connection. Imagine he introduced himself as ‘I from Pakistan [sic] but I have been here in Sydney for long time now’. Also like a good Uber driver he offered us water and stuff when we sat in the car.”… see more
