Owais Ahmed

Born on January 1, 2000, in the bustling city of Lahore, Owais Ahmed grew up with a cricket bat and ball almost inseparable from his hands. Gently nurtured by the enthusiastic cricket culture of Pakistan, his journey in cricket started on the dusty pitches of his neighbourhood where he, a right-arm fast medium bowler, honed his skills amidst matches against older and tougher local street teams.

Owais’s exceptional talent was soon evident when he emerged as a standout performer in various local tournaments during his early teenage years. His right-handed batting and bowling prowess did not go unnoticed, catching the keen eyes of regional scouts who were swift to usher him into the youth teams. His professional debut came at just 18 years old for Lahore Lions in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, a moment marking the start of a promising career in domestic cricket.

Achieving national recognition was inevitable for Owais, who quickly became known for his capability to swing the ball effortlessly in both directions. His notable speed paired with unerring accuracy made him a formidable bowler, consistently delivering breakthroughs just when the team needed them the most. His spellbinding performance against Karachi Kings in the 2019 Pakistan Super League, where he claimed five wickets for a mere 12 runs, was a testament to his growing impact and a match that underscored his rising stature within the cricketing circles.

An innate ability to thrive under pressure settings fuelled the fierce rivalry against Islamabad United, a competition where Owais has consistently left a significant mark with his performances shining brightly. Though primarily known for his bowling, his lower-order batting has often been crucial, as evidenced during challenging chases where his composed right-handed batting offered invaluable resistance.

Among the milestones of Owais’s burgeoning career is his participation in the Pakistan national team’s campaign at the ICC Champions Trophy. His significant contribution to the team reaching the semi-final stage was a dominating performance against India, where his strategic variations perplexed seasoned batsmen.

Beyond statistics and records, Owais Ahmed represents the heart and spirit of a dedicated cricketer whose unwavering focus and passion for the game have already left an indelible impact on Pakistan cricket. As he continues to evolve with each match, fans and cricket connoisseurs eagerly anticipate how his career will further blossom, knowing well that his journey has only just begun.
