Ezhaq Masih

Ezhaq Masih, born on 4th October 1990 in the small yet picturesque island of Malta, embarked on a remarkable cricketing journey that would see him rise to international recognition as a formidable allrounder. In a country where cricket was not the mainstay, Masih discovered his passion for the sport in the narrow, cobbled streets of his hometown. As a youngster, he was often seen wielding a cricket bat, fine-tuning his skills against the stone walls, dreaming of days beyond Malta’s azure waters.

His talent first caught the eye of local coaches during an under-15 tournament, where his all-round abilities stood out. With a natural flair for the game, Masih quickly progressed through the ranks, eventually moving to England in pursuit of higher competition. His right-hand batting was robust and fluid, known for its grace and precision, while his right-arm fast-medium bowling emerged as a potent weapon, often catching batsmen off guard with deceptive bounce and swing.

Playing for a county team in the late 2010s, he impressed everyone with both bat and ball, anchoring the innings in tricky situations and breaking crucial partnerships with his disciplined bowling. He soon became a staple in the team, his performances consistently lauded for their reliability and flair.

Among his numerous achievements, one that stands out is Masih's instrumental role in securing his team's championship win in the National One-Day Cup. His vital century in the final, paired with strategic bowling figures of 3 for 29, earned him the Player of the Match accolade, cementing his reputation as a genuine match-winner.

Throughout his career, Masih was part of many thrilling contests, but his fierce rivalry with an opposing county allrounder often took centre stage. Their duels became the stuff of cricket folklore, adding an edge to every encounter marked by mutual respect and competitive spirit.

Ezhaq Masih's playing style was not merely about numbers but about the cricketing ethos. His ability to remain calm under pressure and his tireless commitment on the field made him a beloved figure among teammates and fans alike. Whether it was his top-order batting resilience or his ability to bowl crucial overs, Masih's impact on the game went beyond personal accolades, inspiring a new generation of cricketers in Malta, propelling the sport to new heights in his homeland.
