Arslan Ahmed, born on 12th May 1994, has crafted his legacy in the cricketing world as an eminent right-arm fast-medium bowler. Cricket seemed to run in his veins from a tender age as he would often be spotted on the streets of Lahore, emulating his idols with a ragged tennis ball. His innate passion led him to the local cricket club, where coaches quickly noticed his raw talent and the natural swing he could produce.

Arslan's journey from the labyrinthine lanes of Lahore to the dais of international cricket was no fortuitous event. The Pakistan domestic cricket circuit proved to be the perfect breeding ground for his talent. From his debut in the under-19 squad to becoming a lynchpin in the national bowling attack, he demonstrated an uncanny ability to adapt and evolve. His professional debut in the 2014-2015 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy marked the beginning of a promising career.

Over the years, Arslan has been gracing the international cricket scene with a string of stellar performances. His knack for breaking critical partnerships saw Pakistan clinch the 2021 ICC Championship, where he was hailed as the ‘Architect of Victory’. Arslan has a penchant for delivering during high-voltage matches, especially against arch-rivals India. His spellbinding performance in the 2020 Asia Cup match, where he claimed a remarkable 5 for 28, remains etched in the memories of cricket aficionados.

With a bowling technique marked by deceptive pace and movement, Arslan consistently causes trouble for batsmen. His signature delivery—a searing inswinger—is revered and feared in equal measure. While his batting expertise may lie on the fringes, his right-hand swing occasionally fetches crucial runs, proving his mettle as a versatile cricketer.

Arslan's impact on the game goes beyond his bowling statistics. His dedication and resilience, displayed during the 2018 match series against Australia where he returned post-injury to lead his team to victory, underline his stature as a pillar of the team. A player with unwavering resolve, Arslan Ahmed continues to inspire budding cricketers and fans alike, his journey illustrating the quintessential rags-to-riches narrative so loved in the world of sport.
