Awais Ahmad, born on 1st January 2001, in the heart of Karachi, has steadily carved out a significant niche for himself in the cricketing world as a versatile allrounder. Emerging from the dusty neighbourhood pitches of his hometown, Awais showed a precocious talent from a young age. As a child, his cricketing idol was the legendary Jacques Kallis, whose all-around prowess in both batting and bowling ignited Awais's passion for mastering both disciplines of the game.

Awais's journey from the local grounds to professional arenas was a brilliant, albeit tumultuous, affair. His first real break was at the age of 16 when he was selected for the Under-19 national team, providing a platform to showcase his raw and dynamic abilities. His adaptable batting approach—the combination of classical technique with explosive shots—and versatile bowling became evident early on. He has the knack to deeply read the game, adjusting his footwork and stroke play to the demands of the situation while mixing pace and guile when bowling, making him a crucial asset in any team composition.

By the age of 19, Awais was making waves in the domestic circuit, leading to his professional debut with the Karachi Kings in the prestigious Pakistan Super League (PSL) in 2021. This marked a turning point in his career. In a crucial playoff match against the Lahore Qalandars, Awais's all-round performance—bagging three wickets and scoring a swift fifty—was instrumental in securing victory, etching his name into the annals of Karachi cricket folklore.

Awais's presence has not only borne domestic fruit but also earned international recognition. His pivotal role in Pakistan’s Under-19 World Cup campaign in 2020 saw him claim a series of Man of the Match awards, highlighting his capability in absorbing pressure. He firmly established himself as a big-game player.

Among his defining achievements, Awais holds the record for the fastest fifty in Balochistan's regional One-Day Cup and has been a key figure in Karachi’s reclaiming of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. His tenacity, both with bat and ball, has seen him form fierce rivalries, particularly against Lahore, elevating each encounter into an electrifying spectacle.

While Awais Ahmad’s story feels like it's only just begun, his cricketing adventure already reads as a tapestry of thrilling exploits, poised on the precipice of further greatness. With an ardent fan base and keen cricketing intellect, his influence on the game continues to flourish, promising more chapters filled with unforgettable moments to come.
