Ghulam Farid

Ghulam Farid, born on 13th January 2002, in a quaint town in Pakistan, has swiftly climbed the ranks to establish himself as a formidable fast-medium bowler on the international cricket scene. From his earliest days, Ghulam’s prowess was evident on the dusty pitches of his local school, where his knack for swinging the ball at a tender age drew the attention of neighborhood cricket enthusiasts. His journey from those grassroots beginnings to the world stage is a tapestry of perseverance and raw talent.

A right-arm fast-medium bowler with a natural inclination for out-thinking his opponents, Ghulam honed his skills under the watchful eyes of his first coach, an experienced hand who saw potential in his rhythm and precision. It wasn't long before Ghulam was plucked from obscurity to represent his district in under-15 tournaments. His big break came in a fiery youth match where his 5-wicket haul not only decimated the opposition but caught the selectors’ eyes. The professional debut soon followed, marked by his entrance into the domestic circuit in 2019, where he made an immediate impact.

One of Ghulam's landmark achievements was during the 2021 domestic finals, where his breathtaking spell of 6 for 34 played a pivotal role in clinching the championship for his team. His growing reputation paved the way for his national debut, a momentous occasion that he seized with the decorum of a seasoned player, further evidenced by his clinical dismantling of a veteran batting line-up.

Notable rivalries, especially the one with a fellow emerging star from India, added spice to the narratives of his expanding career. Their head-to-head battles became a staple, with Ghulam often making headlines with decisive performances that swung games for his side.

Ghulam's bowling is marked by an almost lyrical run-up and the deceptive pace he generates. His ability to find the seam and extract bounce make batting against him a daunting task, while his occasional forays with the bat, wielding his right-hand style, have seen him contribute valuable lower-order runs.

A defining moment came during a high-intensity tournament, when under immense pressure, Ghulam delivered a maiden over in the final moments that secured his country a spot in a world cup semi-final. It was a testament to his burgeoning reputation as a player for the big occasion. Through all these moments, Ghulam Farid remains a cricketer whose journey is far from finished and promises more for the annals of cricket history.
