From a young age, Saeed was enamoured with cricket, playing on the dusty pitches of Kabul with a zealous passion. His talent was unmistakable, and it wasn't long before local clubs took notice of his left-hand batting finesse and deceptive right-arm fast bowling.
Saeed's journey to the professional arena was a testament to his dedication. He rose through the ranks of Afghanistan's domestic cricket, displaying unwavering resilience and an innate ability to read the game. At the age of 18, he made his first-class debut, signifying the beginning of a promising career.
