Ijaz ul Haq, born on the 1st of March, 1993, in the bustling town of Multan, Pakistan, has carved a niche for himself in the cricketing world as a formidable allrounder. From playing gully cricket on the dusty streets to stepping onto the lush greens of international stadiums, Ijaz’s journey is one of grit, talent, and sheer determination.

As a youngster, Ijaz found inspiration in local cricketing icons, and by the age of ten, he was a regular standout in school tournaments, wielding his bat with a maturity beyond his years and showcasing an instinctive knack for bowling. Recognising his potential, a local coach took him under his wing, refining both his explosive batting style and the variety of his bowling. By 18, Ijaz had caught the eyes of regional selectors, earning a spot in the Multan Tigers, a stepping stone that would catapult him into professional cricket.

Ijaz made his professional debut in 2013 with a first-class match that saw him take crucial middle-order wickets while also chipping in with a composed half-century. His ability to adapt his batting to the situation at hand, whether accelerating the run-rate or steadying a flailing innings, quickly became his trademark, while his bowling versatility added valuable depth to any squad he was part of.

2018 was a watershed year for Ijaz, as he contributed significantly to his team’s victory in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, Pakistan's premier domestic competition. His all-round performance, featuring a stunning century and a five-wicket haul in one of the riveting finals, etched his name into the annals of Pakistani cricket. Later, he set a record for the fastest 50 in the Pakistan Super League, a testament to his explosive batting prowess.

His rivalry with Lahore Qalandars has been particularly captivating, leading to several electrifying encounters on the field. His debut international tour in 2020 saw him facing off against India, where his strategic bowling outwitted some of cricket’s finest batting talents, earning him widespread acclaim and solidifying his position on the national team.

Ijaz ul Haq's tale is one of evolution and resilience. With each match, he adds another chapter to his impressive cricketing saga, capturing the imagination of fans across the globe and continuing to impact the game in ways both profound and inspiring.
