Some Lesser Known Facts About Faheem Ashraf

• Faheem Ashraf is a Pakistani professional cricketer. He is an acclaimed first-class cricket player for Habib Bank Limited and a member of the Pakistan national cricket team. Faheem Ashraf was one of the 33 players who were honoured with a central contract from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in August 2018 for the 2018–19 season. Ashraf is the first Pakistani cricketer to score a hat trick in the T20Is.

• Faheem Ashraf aspired to join the Pakistan Army when he was young and cricket wasn’t his top priority. However, everything changed when he watched the 2007 World Twenty20. At the age of 13, after witnessing this significant T20 tournament, Faheem became determined to make a meaningful contribution to his country. During the same period, Pakistan lost the final of the 2007 World Twenty20 to their arch-rivals India. This event motivated young Faheem Ashraf to pursue the cricket field instead of pursuing a career in the Pakistan Army.

• Reportedly, Tauseef Ahmed, a national selector and former offspinner, kept a watch on Faheem Ashraf as he advanced from the district level to the first-class arena.

Once, Tauseef Ahmed narrated the sportsmanship abilities of Faheem in a media conversation. Ahmed said,
  

  I actually saw him when he was playing for NBP, and his ability to strike the ball was impressive. What else does a team want when a batsman batting with the tail can get a run-rate between 8 and 10 an over? He has great firepower, and I have seen him doing that quite often on the domestic circuit.”
