Mohammad Irfan Biography, Age, Height, Weight, Family, Wiki & More

The famous 7 feet 1 inches tall Pakistani fast bowler, Mohammad Irfan is not a name that anyone can forget easily. Breaking quite a lot of records on the field, Irfan has surely broken records off the field as well by being the tallest player in the ODI International cricket matches.

 

His success wasn't an overnight success. Before giving up on cricket he was working for a Plastic pipe company and had given up on cricket. Later with his excellent performances back to back he regained his faith and applied. He gained his name by blowing off minds of the coaches of NCA and received numerous offers out of which ZTBL and Habib Bank are the top ones. But his luck had some other plans when the fast bowler Irfan was called upon by KRL(Khan Research Laboratories) by the special urge made by Azhar Ali and got selected. With not much gain in the course of wickets in his very first match, he made a remarkable appearance in the second First-Class match by taking 9 wickets all over the match. He took major wickets and also the wicket of young player Ahmed Shehzad. He continued his streak to blow off everyone with his pace and took 11 wickets in the third match by scoring 5/27 in his very first innings and 6/96 in the second one.

 

Quite later in his life, he made debut in the Pakistan national cricket team. He replaced the main bowlers of the team Mohammad Asif and Amir who were banned from playing international cricket due to match fixing blames. His luck didn't go off well with his high paced bowling which didn't impress the coaches much and he was blamed for the loss against England in 2010 after which he made a comeback in the year 2012 against India and since then has been a regular feature of the Pakistani Cricket team.
