ATHLETICS OVER CRICKET
He was a promising cricketer until he took up javelin, and he had to decide which sport to pursue. "Not becoming a cricketer was the best thing that happened to me. I wouldn't be in the Olympics otherwise. I know I have a natural talent for athletics and I'm grateful, but being a non-cricket athlete in Pakistan has challenges, like not getting the required resources and facilities." (tribune.com.pk, 16 Jan 2020)

SCHOLARSHIP
In 2016 he received a scholarship from the International Association of Athletics Federations [IAAF] that allowed him to train for eight months at the IAAF High Performance Training Centre in Mauritius. (throwholics.com, 27 Nov 2016; dawn.com, 20 May 2017)
