Ashiq Awais, born on the first day of the new millennium in Lahore, Pakistan, emerged as a remarkable allrounder whose cricketing journey has been as captivating as it is inspiring. Growing up, young Ashiq honed his skills on the dusty streets of Lahore, where he crafted his game with the grit and determination that now defines his professional career.

His remarkable talent was first noticed during local U-15 tournaments, where his adaptability with the bat and versatility with the ball caught the eye of selectors. His early promise led him to represent his high school in numerous regional tournaments, where his performances consistently drew attention. The culmination of his prodigious talent came with a professional debut for Lahore’s domestic team at the mere age of 17.

Ashiq is known for his adaptable batting approach, capable of accelerating the innings with powerful strokes or anchoring when the situation demands. On the bowling front, his skill in extracting turn on dusty subcontinental pitches as well as swinging the ball in overcast conditions makes him a valuable asset as an allrounder.
