All work and no play for Ayub

It's been quite a while since Ayub Khan's cricket team, Actorletics has been seen on the field. This is mainly due to his busy shooting schedule that's not allowing the actor to take time out for his cricket team.


Ayub tells us, "Our team is very enthusiastic and very lively but the problem is that I am doing Uttaran, which is a daily. The schedule has been really hectic and I've not had any time to spare. However, we are planning to get back on the field very soon."
He adds that it has become increasing difficult to play because the matches are held outside the city. He says, "That becomes a major hurdle, but hopefully we'll soon be playing an international match in London."

Talking about the team's journey, he says, "Till now, we've played 40 matches which include three tournaments. Out of that, we've even won one. It's going great. The team has been really supportive and very enthusiastic."

Ayub tells us that despite shooting for his daily, he manages to practice for his team. He adds, "When we have matches, I've to take just three to four days to practice and that is not very difficult. Even during practice, playing a match is not that difficult. We reach for the practice at around seven in the morning, practice for four hours and then leave for our shooting."

But he also agrees that organising matches takes a lot of commitment. "Basically, there are three of us who handle the organisation: Faisal Khan, Rizvi and I. We've organised two sets of outfits, one (coloured) for day and one (white) for night. For every match, we have to provide the entire team with everything. Arranging this itself takes a lot of energy. But we have a great time and as soon as we all get time, we will get back on the field," he signs off.
