Let’s know what Aashiq Khan said:
Avesh Khan has got a chance to debut. What is your first reaction to this?
Has Avesh got a chance to debut? Is this true? If this is true then it is a matter of great happiness. I don’t know. I’m on my way home from the market right now. Debut was awaited for a long time. You have given this news. I was out of the house. Was waiting for this day for a long time. You have given this good news. Debut is late, but that’s life. He was selected in the team earlier as well. We were waiting for the first match.
How was Avesh’s childhood?
We came from a lower middle class family. Accordingly, Avesh had a difficult childhood.
What difficulties did you face to make him a cricketer?
He has made many compromises in his life. Never made a wish that I could not fulfill.
What did he talk to you about after he was selected in the team against West Indies?
There was a lot of talk after the team was selected. He didn’t tell me that I was about to debut. We were waiting for his debut for a long time. He was also included in the team against New Zealand, but did not get a chance to play the match. Many times he became the 12th player, but could not be included in the playing XI. After becoming the 12th player two-three times, today somehow he has got a chance.
Big bid for him in IPL? Did you expect Rs 10 crore?
The bid was higher than expected. I expected up to five-six crore rupees. We were overjoyed after they were sold at auction. Now after being selected in the playing XI of Team India, there is an atmosphere of celebration in the house.

father used to run a paan shop
Avesh’s father Aashiq Khan used to run a roadside paan shop earlier. Later he also did other work to earn. Avesh had a very difficult childhood. The father was fond of cricket, so the son was allowed to play cricket to pass the time. His first coach Amardeep Pathania has contributed a lot in making Avesh a cricketer. He also used to officiate. He carried the passion forward in cricket.
Coach’s dream fulfilled
The Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) had considered opening an academy. His responsibility was entrusted to Amay Khurasia. During that time all the children of the state were tested. There was a choice of passion. In 2011, Amay Khurasia passionately asked him to play for India. Today Avesh fulfilled his coach’s dream as well.
