The all -terrain of Yesteryar India died Wednesday after prolonged disease, leaving his supporters, acquaintances and friends, including the engineer, sad. He was 83 years old.

“My friend Abid Ali, rests in peace. I simply cannot believe it. You know, one is one, the people regret and sadly deceased. Abid was a true friend, a contemporary of mine, my colleague, my roommate also also, a wonderful person, a wonderful cryket player, very talented and everything surrounding,” said the engineer.

Abid Ali was part of an illustrious group of Hyderabad Cricket players that included Mak Pataudi, ML Jaisimha and Abbas Ali Baig. He died in the United States.

The news of Abid Ali’s death was shared by the North America Cricket League.

The engineer said: “He gave 100 percent to his team every time he played for India, and I think he was a very underestimated Crick player because people do not realize the good that he was a nearby filter, you know Solkar eclipsed him a little.

“But Solkar on the one hand and Abid Ali on the other side made the rotating quartet (from Bedi, Prasanna, Chandrasekhar and Venkataraghavan) are even more dangerous, of course with the Wicktkeeper behind.” “Returning to my dear friend Abid, he will miss him sadly. We don’t know what happened to him, was I sick for a while or what? But I sent my most sincere condolences to my family in the United States, in Hyderabad or wherever they are.

“He was a great man, a great Cricket player and a great friend. A sad loss for India and for Indian Cricket,” added the 87 -year -old engineer, from his home in the United Kingdom.
