Sheikh Yaamin Sinan who is 11-year old boy and student of Al-Karim International Madrasa decided to play cricket with his mother just to warm himself up before arrival of his mates or coach at the practice site.

The woman was identified as Jhorna Akhter who turned to bat first with her son at the practice site. The pictures went viral on social media that grabbed huge attention of the public.

According to the latest reports, the duo took their turns with both the bat and ball, with Sinan particularly proud of being able to castle his mother with a turner. Sinan brought out the Afridi-like celebrations for good effect.
