Sarfaraz Ahmed career
Former Pakistani wicketkeeper Moin Khan saw Sarfaraz Ahmed while he was a middle-order batsman and wicketkeeper for the country’s under-15 cricket team. After that, he excelled greatly in sports and is currently regarded as one of the top game finishers.
After making his debut in 2010, Sarfaraz Ahmed didn’t get the opportunity to represent Pakistan for three years, and he considered some other options as well. He made the decision to keep up his strong effort with the goal of seizing any subsequent opportunities. That’s exactly what he did, and she has since made a successful comeback in cricket, playing regularly for Pakistan in all relevant formats.
Sarfaraz Ahmed has successfully helped his team win several matches with a few severe hits, and for those game-winning blows, he has won multiple Man of the Series and Man of the Match accolades. His greatest professional achievement was during the recently finished Champions Trophy.
The smaller team, Sarfraz’s team, were outclassed in their opening game. It was the bold captain who took the initiative, won his team the necessary cricket match against Sri Lanka, and finally, with some astute captaincy skills, earned Pakistan their first Champions Trophy by defeating India for the first time in an ICC final event.
Since 2015, Sarfaraz is married to Syeda Khusbaht and the couple was blessed with a little cute son named Abdullah.
International cricket (2011)
For the ODI series against Sri Lanka in November 2011, the ensuing series against Bangladesh, and the Asia Cup, Sarfaraz rejoined the international squad. He contributed significantly to his team’s high score of 46 not out in the tournament’s championship game, which Pakistan won by two runs. As a result, he was given a Category C contract and chosen for Pakistan’s next T20I series against Sri Lanka.
