Haris Rauf has shared a light moment from his time with the Lahore Qalandars, recalling an amusing story about teammate Harry Brook. Speaking at the PSL Roadshow at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, he joined Babar Azam and Sahibzada Farhan for a lively session hosted by Wasim Akram. During the event, he revealed how a simple team reward once turned into a running joke.
Rauf explained that Sameen Rana, the owner of Lahore Qalandars, often motivated players by announcing a free iPhone for the best fielder in each match. As a result, foreign players started showing extra energy during games. The idea of winning the reward made every moment on the field more competitive and entertaining for the team.
A light moment involving Harry Brook
While sharing the story, Haris focused on an incident involving English batter Harry Brook. According to him, nearly every player won an iPhone at some point, but Brook remained unlucky. In one match, the young batter made an impressive effort and covered almost the entire ground to secure the reward. However, he still did not win, which left him visibly disappointed.
Haris said Brook looked close to tears after missing out again. The moment drew sympathy from several players, who felt he deserved the prize for his efforts. As a result, Haris and a few teammates gathered money and bought him an iPhone so he would not feel left out. The gesture created a warm and memorable moment in the dressing room.
During the discussion, Sahibzada Farhan added to the humor. He joked that almost everyone received an iPhone except him. He said that whenever he performed well, the team ended up losing, which cost him his chance at the reward. His remark brought laughter from the audience and added to the light tone of the conversation.
