By the age of 12, Unaib was already acknowledged as a prodigious talent in local cricket clubs, his pace and precision evident in every delivery.

Unaib's journey into professional cricket began earnestly in his late teens when he was drafted into Pakistan's under-19 team. His right-arm fast-medium bowling style, characterised by a blend of speed and strategic seam movement, made him a formidable opponent on the field.
