Faisal Akram expressed excitement at making his international debut for Pakistan against Zimbabwe in the 1st ODI while talking to PCB Media:

"First of all, I thank Allah a lot that today is my debut and I am very excited for this. Like every player, my dream was to play for Pakistan and represent the country, and now, finally, that dream is coming true."

"I started playing cricket just like every other player, in the streets with a tennis ball, and then joined a club, the Al-Kawari Cricket Academy, where my career began. After my under-16 selection, I performed well, then continued in the under-19s and later performed well in domestic cricket, and then played in the PSL for Multan Sultans."

"Finally, today, I am going to play for Pakistan, and I am extremely excited."

The biggest support I received throughout my career came from my elder brother, Bilal Akram, and my father, who backed me during both the ups and downs of my career. There was a time when I completely lost faith in cricket after under-19s because I had a gap in my career and wasn’t playing domestic cricket, but my brother motivated me to keep going."

"My message is that you all should pray for the Pakistan team and for us to perform as well as we can in this series."

Wish these young kids realise that you may not go a long way as a bowler, if you are a number 11 batter.
