Yusuf and Irfan Pathan spend some quality family time

Professional cricketers these days don’t just put in their blood and sweat on the cricket field to hone their skills and perform for the team but are also with their respective teams for most part of a year. The game has changed so much that there is non-stop cricket action for at least eight to ten months every year. With packed cricketing schedules seldom do you get an opportunity to spend time with your family and loved ones. Brother’s Yusuf and Irfan Pathan are also busy with their training regimes if not travelling around with their teams. But with no immediate assignment at hand they finally found some time to spend with their family in the holy month of Ramadan.

Yusuf arrived back home just ahead of the start of Ramadan after his brief stint with the Abahani Limited in the Dhaka Premier League in Bangladesh. A few reports also suggest that the Pathan brothers don’t prefer travelling during Ramadan. They are in Baroda at their residence and Yusuf recently shared a few candid pictures from his personal time with Irfan and his younger one Ayaan.

Ayaan seems to be enjoying sitting on his Chachu’s shoulders in their backyard.

Look at the expressions! No wonder the gen-next beats the older ones at almost everything now.

Young Ayaan knows exactly how to pose for a selfie, though dad Yusuf maintains his serious demeanour.
