Born on 1st January 2001 in Italy, Aqib Mohammad's journey to becoming a notable bowler began in the sun-drenched local parks of his hometown. As a young boy, Aqib displayed an uncommon flair for the game, often seen bowling tirelessly, honing his skills under the watchful eyes of his supportive family. Italy, though not traditionally known for cricket, provided him with a unique pathway to the game, relying on his determination and passion to carve out opportunities where few existed.

Aqib's professional breakthrough came when he was catapulted into the limelight during a local youth tournament, catching the attention of scouts with his seamless adaptability and keen understanding of bowling dynamics. Making his professional debut for his club side in the regional league by the age of 18, Aqib’s rise was nothing short of meteoric.
