Inspired by the swirling passion for cricket that gripped the subcontinent, Faez's youthful days were spent meticulously imitating the heroes he watched on television. Yet, it wasn't until a local coach spotted his unique flair with the ball that Faez's potential began to be recognised.

Choosing to specialise in bowling, Faez honed his skill as a right-arm offbreak bowler with an uncanny ability to extract turn from even the most benign surfaces. His agile right-handed batting has often provided the necessary stability lower down the order. Faez's formal cricketing journey took shape when he was selected for a local club at the age of 16, where his striking accuracy and deceptive variations began to turn heads.
