New bowler from Sukkur, Afraz Khoso, who is being called the left arm Lasith Malinga. He was discovered by Mohammad Akram in trials at Sukkur and was then sent to Wasim Akram's bowling camp.

Must be decent if Wasim Akram was praising him.
 
Thanks for sharing. Was funny listning to the reporter in the end : " If he can work more on his action he can win Pakistan the WC" lolz what on earth.
 
Do we need Amir and Asif when we have talent like this popping up? I firmly believe Pakistan has full potential to get some more pace bowling talents if they look hard enough.
 
any mentions on how old is he?

looks in his early twenties. What I am more interested in is whether he can contribute with the bat and in the field. I hate bowlers who at best can only bat at number 11 and cant catch a dolly in the field.

He bound to knock down some umpires with that action of his :)
 
good action pakistan can become the home of the slingas with wahab tanvir and this guy

And this is what i a kept saying since 2,3 days. Amir is young, if he deliver in domestic give him chance. But NO to Asif, if PCB want to try Asif, better give change to youngsters, polish them and make them world class.
 
Terrible action, wouldn't last long; injury will limit him within no time, should he make it to Pakistani squad.
 
Really like the slingy action. As said in the news report its similar to Malinga. For those complaining they should watch Atul Sharma videos who is the biggest cricketing myth. :))
 
Sensational?
I hv seen him bowl n he is just about the same pace as the others
 
Can't say much from this tbh.
Although the action looks like a combo rao iftikhar + stuart clark (when he gathers himself to bowl) and perhaps delivers it like malinga: which i think means he is losing a bit of bounce because his arm does not come down in line with his shoulder.
 
Afraz Khoso today took 4/24 vs AJK with 2 bowled, one LBW and one top edge catch off a bouncer! Very good performance!
 
Excited to see some good prospects coming out of the Wasim Akram bowling camp.
 
Sleeping PCB, Sleeping Selectors.

This guy was one of the picks of wasim's camp. He was a raw talent who had not even played any under 19 or inter region / district level cricket.

Yet after few weeks camp he bowled 138 kph in a domestic T20 game where all of us here agreed that speed guns were atleast 5 kph slower than actual speed.

This guy is a left arm copy of malinga. Not only the action but he has the ability to bowl deadly yorkers like him with lots of reverse on offer due to his action.

He can be a huge huge asset for Pakistan in the 2019 worldcup in England.

Look when someone told Aqib about Mohammad Irfan and he was called by Aqib to academy he was measured at bowling 128 kph. Aqib told him to train for 2 weeks there than see if his pace improves than work harder otherwise go back to his village and do his job as previously. After 2 weeks training at NCA he was measured again and his speed had increased by 2 kph and was 130kph. They (staff) got impressed an said you have Potential so work hard further. Than he played for KRL and was amongst wickets and when he played for Pakistan in 2010 after an year when he was 28 years old than his top speed was 138kph.

A 26,27 years old Irfan who started at top speed of 128 clocked 150 kph in 2012-2013 in south Africa after 3 , 4 years of professional training and professional cricket at the age of 30, 31. He in his peak in India and south Africa clocked 145+ numerous times. And was a match winner than.

Here you have a 22 years old Afraz Khoso who in his first 2 professional matches without any cricket at his back in bowls 138 (actual 143kph) so how much potential he has ? And where the hell is pcb and those who selected him from larkana/jacobabad through a talent hunt of pcb ?

I have not even got 1 % doubt that with proper training and guidelines he can surely become a left arm fast bowler who can operate between 85 to 94 mph bowler. Yes with his action he may get unfit like malinga or Irfan etc etc but even brett Lee , Wahab, shoaib , Bond with better actions got unfit. It's part and parcel for fast bowlers. Even Waqar got serious back issues with his action.

1. Why PCB is sleeping ?

2. Why they did not select him in any regional team for QEA ?

3. Why he did not play QEA qualifying round ?

4. Why he wasn't selected in any regional team for National one day cup ?

5. Why his name wasn't there as a raw talent in PSL players draft ?

6. Where are the selectors and NCA staff as well as director domestic cricket and director games development ?


Afraz Khoso is a rare talent and he can be as destructive and as lethal as lasith malinga in Odis and T20's. Malinga who has clocked 150 in international cricket was a medium fast bowler when he stated his international cricket and this Afraz Khoso has bowled fast medium stuff without having any official cricket background at any level.

[MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] bhaee please ring some bells to awake the sekectors/NCA/PCB. This boy deserves it.
 
This guy has raw potential
Should not be wasted
Just a bit of work on his action to make it more down the wicket and upright will add about 5,6 k's.
Definitely a potential 145 kph bowler
 
the PCB is now just full of old men sleeping at the wheel. there has to be a way we can get some of these youngsters noticed like we did with Irfan.
 
he should have been picked in PSL , if a talent comes up and you dont nurture it then how you are going to get players.
 
[MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION] He quit cricket?

Yes for the time being.

Seriously :O

No way dude, looked gold first he came. Third ball in this video was one of the best deliveries I've seen recently, reminded me of Shoaib Akhtar with his pace a reverse
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x34d3x5_afraz-khoso-4-wickets-against-ajk-q8-t20-cup-2015_sport

Can he be contacted to not quit through any means? He's so young too
 
Figures of 3-44 playing for larkana.

Playing QEA trophy grade 2.

He has not left cricket.

Hardly using the front arm as well. Strength work will also naturally increase pace.

Additionally, I would suggest raising his arm slightly to increase consistency of his action to improve accuracy and purchase off the pitch.

Not sure if someone at Larkana can rightly guide him.

Need to draft him in the "A" side asap and given more exposure, plus a few sessions at the NCA

His best bet would be to get selected for Quetta and receive coaching from Ian.
 
Last Two T20 Tournaments He has not even being picked where He is most deadliest T20 fast bowler in Pakistan only if you watched his 24 balls live.


Absolute Toe Crusher Malinga at 140kph reverse that too with poor built n poor nutrition.



What did Shameful board do for him after giving him 2 weeks lectures and 1 week camp ?



Even the Super Dooper Star of Telecom companies does not speak for his boys who have trained under him. Even after Spotting 13 years Most talented Left Arm pacer ever in Pepsi trials He forgot him completely for next 4 years until he made team somehow.



# Aesay Mentors ?

# Paisa Lou Side pe Ho
 
Pakistani Malinga !!!





Where is the rare talent ? Is he banned? Is he selected for PSl ? Any updates ?

Pakistan needs to have unique bowlers and Batsman in national t20 to improve t20 cricket amd Afraz is one of them with Malinga like action of left arm and a sharp bouncer.
