Two people are always remembered in all walks of life, one who achieves unforgettable achievements in any field due to his gifted ability and the other who enables a person to achieve success and at that time Encourage him, value him and work for him when nothing happens, surely such people get the status of “Messiah” in their respective fields, and when it comes to disabled people such people The value and prestige of is further enhanced by the fact that he worked in a field that is considered very sensitive. One such messiah is Jamil Kamran from Multan, who is 45 years old and has been associated with the Pakistan Disabled Cricket Association since day one. Through his tireless efforts, Pakistan Disabled Cricket Association has got many talented and talented cricketers from Multan, the land of saints, who have represented Pakistan not only domestically but also internationally and made the country famous. Eight players from Multan join the National disabled cricket team which is no less than an honor for Multan and Jamil Kamran himself.
In the early days of Pakistan Disabled Cricket Association, Jamil Kamran, under the direction of Amiruddin Ansari, the founders of Disabled Cricket, not only found talented cricketing cricketers in South Punjab, including Multan, but also honed their talents. Formed the team and also ensured the participation of Multan team in the first National Disabled Championship (2008) in a short time. Initially, it was very difficult to find disabled cricketers from Multan. The players who came had many questions in their hearts that God knows how these people should treat us. In a society where a disabled person does not have equal rights, forming a team for a game that is popular all over the country was a big surprise for disabled cricketers. Despite this, Jamil Kamran l initially found many talented players who went with him for a long time. Matloob Qureshi and Jahanzeb Tiwana, have the status of superstars in disabled cricket. Apart from them, the names of Haris, Umeez-ur-Rehman, Majid Hussain and Zubair Saleem are prominent among the players introduced by Jamil Kamran, It would not be wrong to call Jamil Kamran a “one man academy” for disabled cricket in Multan.
About the initial training of disabled cricketers, Jamil Kamran says, “Initially, when disabled youngsters come to play, I treat them like a ‘mother’, because they are very sensitive.” They get love only in their own home. When they go out of the house, society looks at them with contempt, no matter what their voices are. Those who come from the villages around Multan have to work harder to overcome their feelings of deprivation, frustration, negative thinking about themselves and lack of self-confidence. My first priority is to make it clear to them that you don’t consider yourself disabled, you are normal and you can do everything that other normal cricketers can do when they When the thinking goes away then new self-confidence is created in them and they feel like a changed person, just after that my job becomes easier and I focus on cricket. I work with them. “
It was due to the hard work of Jamil Kamran and the excellent performance of his players that Multan not only played the final of the first National Disabled Cricket Championship but also excelled in every event, even Multan did its best. He also left Karachi behind where disabled cricket started. The performance of the Multan team gradually improved over all the regions of Karachi and Pakistan. Multan is the winner of the last three National championships while it has played in many championships and finals of the tournament so far. Jamil Kamran is working not only in Multan but also in other districts of South Punjab like Bahawalpur and Dera Ghazi Khan. He has a large pool of players and keeping this in mind, Bahawalpur has allowed to form a separate team and now the two Team of South Punjab participate not only in the National Disabled Cricket Championship but also in other tournaments which gives full representation to most of the players in the region at the national level. Is done.
When Pakistan’s first disabled cricket team visited Malaysia and Singapore in 2010, it also included several disabled cricketers from Multan, which was an indication that a lot of work was being done on disabled cricket in Multan. Jamil Kamran has not given up the task of finding disabled cricketers from this region of South Punjab till now, but now he has become accustomed to go to South Punjab, I keep asking my acquaintances that there is no disabled child here who loves to play cricket, this shows Jamil Kamran’s love for Pakistan Disabled Cricket Association but also to the point of madness. Also happens Of course, he had to go through very difficult paths in his work, but with his perseverance, he made every impossible task possible. Five to seven of his players change in the next tournament or championship. Interestingly, Matloob Qureshi, the Pakistani superstar wanted in disabled cricket, who also has the honor of scoring his first international century for Pakistan, When he came to Jamil Kamran, he was not ready to play cricket. The father of Matloob did not want to play cricket. Jamil Kamran also explained a lot then he agreed to allow him to play cricket.
What is special about Jamil Kamran is that he is a well-known and well-organized cricket organizer as well as a disciplined sportsman. He has made a name for himself in sports other than cricket. Referring to an incident of discipline, he said, “Multan team had a very talented disabled cricketer (name withheld). After refusing to play in the semi-finals, he refused to play despite my persuasion, as he was a key bowler. Due to his absence, Multan lost in the semi-finals. The players became obsessed and refused to go back to Multan with the cricketers who did not play the match but also refused to play in the future. We knew that the international tour of Pakistan’s disabled cricket team was near and that cricketer “It was an automatic choice. We banned the cricketer for a year. The PDCA also appreciated our decision and commended us for not compromising on discipline.” Jamil Kamran is not only optimistic about the bright and bright future of Pakistan Disabled Cricket, but he is also trying to set up a regular academy for disabled U-19 and U-16 disabled boys in Multan so that Multan can look for backup talent. Don’t face difficulties. Discussing about Jamil Kamran the General Secretary of PDCA total that Jamil Kamran is the man behind success of PD Cricket at International Level. He has an experienced of cricket more then 4 decays which help us a lot, under his managership Pakistan won the series against England in Dubai 2014.
