“I used to bowl finger spin with the help of tape-ball, then I joined Rashid Latif cricket academy. I belong from Shinkiari Mansehra, but I played most of my cricket in Karachi. I bowl finger spin bowling like Ajanta Mendis and Mujeeb ur Rehman and I also watch Sunil Narine’s bowling.”

“My teammates used to call me a white ball expert, but I used to tell my teammates, let me come to the red ball, I will be difficult to play, and then I proved that I am difficult to play.”
