Former Pakistani all-rounder Mudassar Nazar was one of the foreign invitees at the colourful and enjoyable 3rd Edition of Kenya Past Cricketers Reunion held in Nairobi last week.
This was revealed by Subhash Modi, the Hon. Coordinator/PRO : Kenya Past Cricketers Reunion Third Edition 2023.
Speaking exclusively over the telephone from Nairobi, he said, “Mudassar has not played cricket in Nairobi but was in charge of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in the past. We invited him with his wife Ms. Jackie Janmohamed, who is the former Chairlady of Cricket Kenya and also Immediate Past Chairlady of Africa Cricket Association and also the first Kenyan Lady Umpire to umpire top cricket league matches in Nairobi”.
“Her support for cricket in Kenya is simply praiseworthy. Jackie has been supporting our cricketing functions since its inception in 2018 . We value her unending support. Ms. Jackie Janmohamed, besides one of our platinum sponsors, was also our honoured Chief Guest. Janmohamed lives in Nairobi but she travels a lot overseas. She is one of the well known lawyers here in Kenya”.
“Mudassar Nassar, a well known Pakistan Cricketing Icon is husband to Jackie Janmohamed. The reason for inviting Mudassar was because he has served ICC and Kenya’s National Cricket Academy with dedication and commitment”, added the former international umpire Modi. Mudassar lives in Pakistan, Nairobi, Dubai and Uk depending on his travel plans and work commitments.
