Haiber Ali

Haiber Ali, a name synonymous with raw talent and tenacity in the cricketing world, was born in the heart of Kuwait on the first day of January 2000. Raised in a country where cricket wasn't the mainstream sport, Haiber's passion for the game was kindled by the scattered weekly matches in the dusty fields of his neighbourhood, fuelled by inspiration from televised international matches. As a young boy, it was his uncanny ability to adapt to situations on the field that set him apart, particularly as a bowler.

Ali's early years were a testament to dedication and discovery. He honed his skills with the ball, developing a versatile bowling style revered for its unpredictability and precision. Naturally adept at a range of deliveries, his transition from regional cricket to the global arena seemed inevitable. His professional debut came at the tender age of 18 in a T20 match representing Kuwait in an ICC-affiliated tournament, where his bowling prowess, underscored by swift and accurate seam deliveries, quickly caught the eyes of scouts worldwide.

Major milestones in Haiber's career include his memorable spell against a regional rival, Oman, where he took a historic five-wicket haul, dismantling a formidable batting order.

His ability to commandeer partnerships through smart strokes and rotational play makes him a dependable lower-order batsman.
