Action looks better than before. Have u got Muhammad hasnain's bowling video???
 
Video was originally sped up, I slowed it down a touch but probably not 100% accurate.

Kid definitely looks sharp & aggressive, but RADAR might be an issue - went for 63 in a low scoring game, where batsmen were not intimidated by spray gun pace. Can you put Arshad's 6 wicket game? Next U19 WC is in SAF - Hasnain, Arshad & Nasim at least ensures that pace attack won't be any issue in SAF wickets.

I will be mightily surprised if Arshad Iqbal plays the next under 19 WC. The guy looked overage to me in the last WC. He ain’t getting younger.

He, Musa & Ruhail Nazir are officially eligible for next WC in JAN_FEB 2020 - if we go for biological age, you might open a Pandora box.

That’s why we are a laughing stock, even at the under 19 levels. Rohail Nazir and even Musa (to a certain extent) I’m willing to believe as genuinely under 19 (with some reservations) but there is no way in hell that Arshad Iqbal is “under 19”.

What's the height, and officially he is like not even 16 now - what's likely actual?

Height we will confirm in the Talent Spotter.

He has told us he is over 17 years of age.
 
Can't say much from sped up video with only the best balls bowled from across three four matches but one thing I noticed his back arching is reduced now. First time I saw a video of his he had crazy back arching which would have resulted in plenty of injuries.
 
Whatever his age is or performance has been lately but with his runup, action and follow up,its obvious he will play for national team 2-3 years.
 
To be frank, Nasim Shah should play under 19 cricket but both Musa and Arshad should focus on playing as much first class cricket as possible. For them Under 19 cricket is toxic.
 
Definitely slowed down compare to his last crazy action video, his bouncers are lethal but his pitch up deliveries are very slow compare to his bouncers, I reckon he is around 133-140k range currently which is seriously gud for a genuine 17 year old.
 
What would be the probable speed.??

The keeper is taking some of the deliveries on the rise. Kid looks sharp.

Interesting to see he is moving the ball both ways too.

Will post videos from Arshad and Hasnain when available.
 
Box office stuff.

He's got that natural aggression. Very excited to see how he progresses.
 
Glad our u19 team is already setting him up for what to expect in the future with dropped chances in the slips :ashwin
 
Your tweet mentioned he is 17 years old. This post is now 12 months old.

I've not seen his birth certificate and wasn't present when he was born.

The lad is saying he is 17 and we can only take his word for it.
 
if he was over 17 last october he is over 18 this tour. still eligible for under 19, still a teen. still remarkably quick for his age because bowlers pace does not peak until mid to late 20s. looking at the pace with which he bowled in australia i believe he can easily clock 155 KPH by the time he reaches 25
