His journey through the cricketing ranks began in the quaint cricket clubs of his native Netherlands, where he honed his skills amidst the rapidly growing interest in the sport within the country.

From an early age, it was clear Luqman had a unique talent with the bat. His fluid technique and adaptable approach to batting allowed him to stand out amongst his peers.

His deft handling of the middle order, coupled with the occasional handy bowling spell, cemented his status as a cornerstone of the team. Despite primarily being known for his batting prowess, Tariq's versatile bowling has often come to the fore, providing timely breakthroughs with his handy off-spin.

A highlight in Tariq's career is the century against a Test-playing nation during a crucial qualification stage, a performance that not only elevated his status but also significantly contributed to the global recognition of Dutch cricket.
