Pakistan's leading wicket-taker in Test and ODI cricket further stated that when his wife Huma found a packet in his wallet, she tried to help him get rid of an addiction but he continued with it mostly because of a bad rehabilitation experience.
 However, he finally quit the drug after the demise of her wife Huma due to a rare fungal infection in 2009.
 Akram retired from international cricket in 2003 after an astonishing 18 years in international cricket. He finished with 414 wickets in Tests and 502 in ODIs. With the bat, he had scored 2898 runs in the longest format of the game while accumulated 3717 runs in the 50-over game.

Just be mindful that you don't force the conversation and give your child the chance to gather their thoughts. It is not feasible to start having sit-down discussions all of a sudden just because you found out something. But you can always approach the topic by saying that you would like to talk about this and give them the time and space to process it.

Worried that your kid might have a drug problem? Look out for these signs!

Using drugs with the intent of getting intoxicated for having fun is considered drug abuse. When recreational use turns into a habit that one cannot live without&nbsp;or control,&nbsp;then it can be termed a drug addiction.

<li>Hanging out with a new set of friends, heavily influenced by peers&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Sudden change in mood, eating and sleeping patterns&nbsp;</li>
<li>Spraying air freshener or perfume in the room more often&nbsp;</li>
<li>Suddenly asking for an increase in pocket money with no explanation&nbsp;</li>
