Emerging from the vibrant cricketing landscape of Pakistan, Danish's journey from the dusty streets of Lahore to the international arena is as captivating as any thrilling test match.

From an early age, Danish's affinity with the bat was palpable. His early morning practice sessions, under the watchful eye of his father and local coach, laid the groundwork for what would be a promising career.
