Asif is all set to leave the side and join his family. It has been a very emotional ride for him over the past few months as he tried to engage in matches even bearing the pain.
My daughter my angle returned to Allah last night.
May Allah grant her jannat.
Thanks everyone for you support, love, messages & prayers during this tough time.— Asif Ali (@AasifAli45) May 20, 2019
