Mohammad Amir vows to support woman cricketer Nida Dar's struggling family after she gets cheated off 5 lakh rupees

Former Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Amir has vowed to support Pakistan woman cricketer Nida Dar’s family after she was allegedly cheated off 5 lakh rupees.

Pakistani journalist Shoaib Jatt reported that a ceremony was held to honor Nida Dar in which a representative cheque of 5 lakh rupees was presented to her. However, he alleged that the organizers left the venue without handing over the sum to the player.

Jatt also added that Dar’s father is hospitalized due to a contagious disease and her brother was bed-ridden after meeting with an accident.

“Become Nida's voice. Alas, the ceremony was called to decorate the national cricketer "Nida Dar". Nida's father is undergoing treatment at the hospital due to a contagious disease, while his brother is alone in bed due to an accident. 5 lakhs not found yet,” Shoaib Jatt wrote on Twitter.

In response to Jatt’s tweet, Mohammad Amir vouched that he is willing to help her family.

“You can send me her details. I will try my best to help her family,” Amir tweeted.
