Even after his mother was in the hospital, he decided to come to India from Afghanistan to play IPL. I knew that the Kolkata team would need me after Phil Salt returned from the IPL. I wanted to be present for the team in its time of need, that is why I took the difficult decision of leaving my mother and coming to India from Afghanistan. I am happy here. My mother is also happy for me.
