Irfan Khan Niazi: A Rising Star in Pakistan’s Cricketing World

Mohammad Irfan Khan Niazi, born on December 28, 2002, in Mianwali, Punjab, Pakistan, is a distinguished Pakistani cricketer renowned for his right-handed batting and right-arm medium-fast bowling. He embarked on his cricketing journey by transitioning from tape-ball to hard-ball cricket in 2015, joining the Ikram Shaheed Cricket Club in Mianwali. His exceptional performances at the district and regional levels led to his selection for Pakistan’s squad in the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. In September 2019, he was named to the newly formed Central Punjab team for the 2019–20 domestic season and retained for the 2020–21 season. His List A debut for Pakistan Shaheens occurred in February 2020 against the Marylebone Cricket Club during their tour of Pakistan. In September 2020, he made his Twenty20 debut for Central Punjab in the National T20 Cup. In December 2021, he was selected for Pakistan’s team in the 2022 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies.

Irfan’s remarkable performances in the 2024 Pakistan Super League earned him a call-up to Pakistan’s T20I squad for the five-match home series against New Zealand. He made his international T20I debut in the first match, although he did not bat due to the match being abandoned because of rain. Subsequently, he was included in Pakistan’s ODI squad for the three-match series against Australia, making his ODI debut in the first match and scoring 22 runs.
