Born on a crisp winter day in Lahore on 1st December 1987, Qasim Muhammad Iqbal’s tryst with cricket was written in the sands of time long before he first picked up a bat. From the bustling streets of Lahore, where children huddled to catch a glimpse of their cricketing idols, Qasim found his calling amidst the worn-out tennis balls and homemade bats.

Growing up, his natural flair for the game was evident. Neighbourhood tournaments often turned into stages where Qasim would showcase his burgeoning talent. His ability to adapt with the bat and deceive with the ball caught the attention of local coaches, propelling him onto the domestic cricket circuit. His journey from domestic arenas to professional glory was anything but ordinary.

Qasim made his professional debut in the national team with a bang, quickly establishing himself as a reliable allrounder. His ability to bat anywhere in the order and deliver crucial overs with the ball made him indispensable. His adaptable batting approach, whether anchoring the innings or accelerating as needed, coupled with his versatile bowling, allowed him to unsettle batsmen with changes in pace and shrewd variations.

Among his notable achievements is the role he played in securing a championship title for his side in the prestigious national league, where his all-round performances, especially his electrifying half-century followed by a crucial spell in the final, elevated him from a player to a hero in the eyes of his fans. His knack for rising to the occasion was also on display in the riveting face-offs against arch-rivals, where matches often teetered on a knife’s edge until Qasim's resolve tilted them in his team's favour.

His career is punctuated by memorable clashes, notably against the formidable Australian team. One such celebrated encounter was a test match where Qasim’s composed innings under pressure, complemented by his key bowling breakthroughs, scripted a famous victory.

Even as time continues to march on, leaving an indelible mark on Qasim's career, his contribution to cricket remains timeless. The matches he inspired, the young cricketers he motivated with his dedication, and the moments he crafted on the field continue to echo in the annals of the sport, underscoring his impact on the game.
