Pakistan’s talented all-rounder, Aamir Jamal, has shared the profoundly saddening news of his newborn baby’s passing. The 29-year-old cricketer conveyed his immense grief through a heartfelt social media post on Wednesday.
In a deeply emotional tribute, Jamal posted a poignant photograph depicting his baby’s tiny hand gently clasped around his finger. Accompanying the image, he wrote a message filled with sorrow and hope: ‘From Allah, to Allah. I couldn’t hold you longer my lil Angel. Baba & mama will miss you. May you stay on highest ranks in Heaven.’
This heartbreaking announcement quickly resonated across the globe, leading to a massive outpouring of sympathy and support from fans and fellow cricketers alike. Among those who offered their condolences was former Pakistan women’s team captain Sana Mir, who expressed, ‘May Allah give you and your wife strength to bear the loss.’
Further messages of solidarity flooded in from Jamal’s close associates, including Mansoor Rana, Rai M. Azlan, Pranav Mahajan, and entrepreneur Hamza Naqvi. Naqvi’s message reflected the sentiment of many: ‘Please accept my condolences. I am praying for you and your family in this difficult moment. You’re an incredible cricketer, with a big heart, and I hope to see you represent Pakistan soon.’
Aamir Jamal, known for his performances with Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League, has represented his country in eight Test matches, three One Day Internationals, and six T20 Internationals. His last international appearance was in a Test series against South Africa in January 2025. Currently, he is playing for Lahore Region Whites in the ongoing Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
Throughout his budding international career, the right-arm pacer has impressed, taking 21 wickets in Test cricket and five across the limited-overs formats. Domestically, he boasts an impressive record of 99 wickets in 40 first-class matches, solidifying his reputation as one of Pakistan’s promising all-round talents.
