Thanks for sharing bro.
Superb

 

[King_Kohli]

Who is that guy next to blue shirt right side.. Nadeem?

 

[guna]

Chawla as Captain and No name Srivastav as Vice Captain.

Kohli did a favor to his buddy Nadeem by playing him in the 1st Chennai Test.

 

[King_Kohli]

Piyush chawala the captain
what a pose.

 

[guna]

Who is that guy next to blue shirt right side.. Nadeem?

He is Nadeem.

The guy next to Nadeem must be the shortest ever. Nadeem himself is very short at 5'6" and he is towering over that guy.

 

[King_Kohli]

Lalchand Rajput is current head coach of the Zimbabwe national team.

Thanks for sharing. You forgot to mention legend Piyush Chawla's name.

ha ha.
That's why he didn't stand next to Ishant.

That's a very good photo.

 

[OldWarHorse]

There is Sid Kaul as well I think

 

[pillionrider]

Poor Chawla. Was such a fan of him. What a fall from captain to....Does he even at least have an IPL contract now.

Kohli looks like such a road romeo here )

[Mamoon]

I remember this vividly because I was at the Pearl-Continental Hotel in Peshawar and we were told that the Indian U-19 team is here.

Pakistan were crushed like no tomorrow. Proper humiliation.

Not surprising when you compare the two sides. The gulf in class was gigantic.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Superb photo.

Chawla was supposed to be the next Warne - in the end the only thing similar to Warne was his body mass index. Such a disappointment.

Sure he’s made millions in the IPL but at the end of his career surely he’ll look back and have a lot of regrets.

India just.played well. Pakistan were still good team in 2000s and early 2010s. The slide has really started post CT 2017.

How shallow are you lmao you had to put out your agenda in this as well. But it’s hilarious cause no one would care about an under 19 Indian team coming to Pakistan so I doubt anyone told you the Indian u19 team is staying at this hotel. The funniest part is you even wrote this out like it’s a very important chapter in a book and you are mentioning the turning point. “It was an early morning at the pearl continental and I was about to clean the washroom in the lobby and a young player came running towards me and he’s like “I need to use it very quickly I let him go later on did I only find out he was an U19 Indian player named virat kohli who would becomes India’s captain one day and I would drool for him”.

The gulf in the quality of young players coming through was still very big by mid 2000s, and that is why the gulf appeared to be very big by early 2010s.

When India had the likes of Yuvraj, Dhoni, Kohli, Rohit, Pujara etc. coming through the ranks in the 2000s, we were not producing young players of comparable quality.

 

[Mean&Green]

Damn and here I thought virat had never been to Pakistan he’s seen more Pakistan than me lol

I didn’t see any of the Indian players. We knew the manager in the Chinese restaurant (unfortunately he died in the 2009 bomb blast in the hotel) and he told us about the Indian team.

It is just an event that I remember. You are free to believe what you want to believe.

In hindsight I wish I could have met the Indian team including Kohli, a far better batsman than anyone Pakistan has produced and ever will produce. Would have been an honor and a privilege.

How would that Indian U-19 team fared against the senior Pakistan team of that time?

 

[Mamoon]

The senior team would obviously thrash the U-19 side.

Younis, Inzamam, Yousuf, peak Akmal, Asif, Akhtar, Razzaq, Afridi, Malik, Butt, Kaneria. No competition whatsoever.

Pakistan was a very solid team in the Inzamam-Woolmer era.

I rememebr the Indian Blind team visiting Pakistan during the 2000s and there were people that cared and were aware of that tour.

 

[Markhor]

Only since 2017 ? Pakistan have been sliding since 1995 beyond the odd flash of brilliance.

We lost four home Test series between 1995-2000, lost six home ODI series in the 2000s and got knocked out of the group stage of two World Cups in 2003 and 2007.

Our bilateral ODI record vs the top teams has been awful throughout the 2010s.

Anyway this photo is so strange looking back. India and Pakistan could not get enough of each other in the mid 2000s. There were tours every year between 2004-2008 to the point where I got sick of Pakistan-India matches !

Little did we know how the next 15 years would transpire.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

So much grooming for kohli

 

[Saj]

It would be interesting to see how their Pakistani counterparts careers went.

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Piyush Chawla batted at No. 4/5 in the one-dayers in that tour. He even scored 146 at No. 7 in the youth Test in Peshawar in which India defeated Pakistan by an innings and 240 runs.

 

[Saj]

Who's the Mohammad Haroon with the team and what was his role?

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

It would be interesting to see how their Pakistani counterparts careers went.

Pakistan Under-19 four-day squad: Mohammad Ibrahim (capt), Ahmed Shahzad, Syed Fawad, Shan Masood, Saadullah Ghori, Zeeshan Jameel, Ali Waqas, Behram Khan, Abdul Rauf, Raza Rehman, Rahatullah, Adil Raza, Mohammad Naveed, Immad Wasim, Nayeer Abbas, Shahzeb Khan

Aww look at you being happy over a youth series when the actual team got battered at home in Aane Do series. )

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

The Pakistan Under-19s lost badly to the India Under-19s because Pakistan had fielded a relatively inexperienced team, said Iqbal Qasim, the chairman of Pakistan's nations cricket junior committee.

"Actually their [India] players also have experience of the last Under-19 World Cup besides first-class matches, but we have just included the youngsters who showed their best in the ongoing domestic activities," Qasim told The News.

Pakistan lost 2-0 to India in the two-'Test' series held in September. While they lost by 271 runs in the first match at Rawalpindi, the defeat in the second match at Peshawar was even more comprehensive with India wrapping up the proceedings inside three days to win by an innings and 240 runs.

"Pakistan has had less time to form a combined team from among the best available players at the junior level, besides the regional event [Inter-region championship] is still going on due to that the selector did not find much time to see and find out the best among the existing talent," said Qasim. "I hope with the passage of time these youngsters would improve their performance," he added.

The two teams will meet next on September 19 to play the first game of the four-match one-day series.

Roughly half had reasonable FC careers in the old departmental system. In today's setup though most wouldn't have made the cut even for that i imagine.

Aane Do series was in 2012/13.

This happened in 2006, same year where Pakistan beat India 1-0 in Tests while India smashed Pakistan 4-1 in ODIs.

 

[NishanKonar]

Poor Chawla. Was such a fan of him. What a fall from captain to....Does he even at least have an IPL contract now.

Kohli looks like such a road romeo here )

Piyush Chawla was a fake age guy. He was at least 3-4 years older than his real age. No wonder he did not succeed at senor level

Ok and just cause a couple of people here and there care or know doesn’t mean the whole country knew lol what I was trying to say is it’s not like the official men’s Indian cricket team was staying in that hotel the way he wrote it out like in a way as if it was a very nostalgic event in history of Pakistan cricket and his life.

In Hindsight it does leave an impact.

See, if mamoon cared at the time he would had taken a photo or an autograph.

When you see how some of these people end up making a career, you realize that wow you were in the same building with that guy.....

For example, when i was playing club cricket, this Pakistan u17 player was asking someone to help do throwdowns. So he asked me i gave him some throwdowns. Everyone was calling him Shadab Shadab... He was just a normal guy and asked me how much time i had spent in club cricket as i wasn't able to deliver him proper throwdowns.

Few years later, that same guy becomes a PSL player and than a Pakistani superstar out of no where, while i look back at the moment i had with a future Pakistani player.

Even this pic posted in OP, it gives a good feeling that Kohli came to my home city, Rawalpindi

Its a shame you couldnt meet your future heros from your team What a story that wouldve been to drool over That you met all your future stars

Looking back as a huge fan of the parosis im sure it wouldve been a fantastic occasion for you Its a big shame

 

[TheSultan]

Is this the same team that got thrashed by Pakistan in the 2006 U19 World Cup?

 

[Junaids]

Isn’t that about Pakistan’s terrible planning and development?

If you think about it, the following players are in the same age category:

Umar Akmal
Mohammad Amir
Sarfraz Ahmed

Nauman Ali and Yasir Shah are one to two years older.

I’m not sure that the gap is talent - it’s development of young players of promise.

When West Indies lost to India in 1983 WC they were really furious and took the "revenge" on their post WC trip to India . I guess this was Indian 19 trip to Pakistan after their shock defeat from Pakistan in under 19 WC final earlier that year in Sri Lanks.

Tanwir Afzal ? Isn't that the Hong Kong bowler ? Wasn't aware he played U19 cricket for Pakistan.

Nayyer Abbas was a decent cricketer, although his name was in the list of players with suspect actions that the PCB put out after Ajmal's ban. I also identify Jamal Anwar, the Rawalpindi Rams keeper in that list.

Looking back now at the respective careers, it is pretty evident now who are the eventual winners and losers.
In case of Shehzad, he took revenge with himself.

These might be different people, but I think that some of these players might've went on to play for associate teams. I know there is a Mohammad Naveed in the UAE and I think there might've been a Raza-ur-Rehman who played for Canada.
