Fawad’s cricketing journey with Pakistan:
It is worth mentioning that Fawad’s last appearance for Pakistan was in July 2022, during a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka. Subsequently, he was left out of the home series against England due to his below-par performance.
In his tenure representing Pakistan, Fawad contri꧒buted significantly to the team’s success. He made his debut in white-ball cricket in 2007 and went on to participate in 38 One Day Internationals (OꦐDIs) and 24 T20 Internationals (T20Is), amassing a total of 966 and 194 runs, respectively.
On the other hand, Fawad’s Test debut in July 2009 saw him become the first Pakistani cricketer to score a century on debut. He delivered many top-notch performances throughout his career and amassed a total of 101♓1 runs at an average of 38.88. His remarkable tally included five centuries and two half-centuries.
Apart from this, he accumulated impressive 1🎃4.000 runs in the domestic circuit in 201 first-class games. He was also a part of the T20 World Cup-winning team of P🎐akistan.
