Arfan Liaqat - Pakistan U-19 fast-bowler from Sahiwal

Saw him in the Rising Star Cup.

Definitely has some pace.

How that Ghuari guy played ahead of Liaqat in the U-19 WC is beyond me.
 
[MENTION=141390]Ellipsism[/MENTION] you are talking about saif ali ghauri
he had also performed whenever he got chance to play he also picked 3fer and 4fers

Don't care how he performed he was trash.
 
i have heard about this guy , they say he is very fast and cricinfo also confirms it , anyone has any information about him

He bowled with more pace than Sameen in 1 or 2 matches he played in Under 19 WC.

He had better physique too.


Did not bowl any 140 kph delivery though.


He might have added few kph by now.


I must say him getting onlh 1 or 2 Wc games was unfair.
 
Played for Faisalabad in Rising Stars. Good pace, bounce and very tight action. Gets the ball to seam.
 
One obvious reason why Arfan bowls quick compared to other under 19 players is because of his physique.

If other players bulk up and eat right then most of our fast bowlers would be start bowling in the 140s

If that was the case Umar wouldn't be bowling faster than him. How fast someone is capable of bowling can't be judged by their outside appearance, it depends on their body composition. If you're lacking fast twitch muscle fibers, you're always going to be a trundler regardless of diet, coaching, etc.

Arfan has pace because he has good mechanics and armspeed. Apart from that, his body movement is not really of an athlete. Ideal physiques for fast bowling are like Wahab, Wasim or Shoaib, Waqar. The former two are long, athletic and flexible and the latter two are sprinters, a bit on the shorter side but powerful and athletic. They all have muscle mass and fast twitch.
