Karachi, Feb. 20 (TNS): In a shocking incident, son of former international cricketer Aamer Hanif committed suicide after alleged heartbreak over non-selection in an Under-19 cricket team, local media reported on Tuesday.

According to the grieving father, who represented Pakistan in five ODIs during the 1990s, his son, Mohammad Zaryab, was upset after he was declared too old to be selected for the U-19s.

Zaryab, who was a first-year student at college and Hanif’s oldest son, hanged himself to death the previous day.
