A 15 year old is in Pakistan's squad for the twenty 20 world cup, having impressed in the under 19's.

I can't ever imagine that happening in England. Do you know anything more about this kid?
-
i saw him bowl, and yes he was good, but he is so young, and me being 16 myself, if i went and played in a tournament i'd be in awe of everything, so i dont see how they could pick someone so young

He's clearly good enough! Opened the batting aswell! Fielded slip, it wouldn't happen in England...
-
Wouldn't happen in England because our cricket isn't in crisis. Saying that, if it was, the selectors would probably look the other way for the people that are past it.
-
is he realy 15 i have known many who have said they are younger than they are
our old pro at the age of 30 starting going down in years
-
Good bowler seemed really mature for his age.. Think he scored a century in the recent U19 World Cup I think he opens or came 1 down..
-
Adam Ball, aged 16 at Kent just signed a professional contract. He played for the England U19s in New Zealand too. I don't think it would happen in England though, no matter how good the player.

Im just glad this topic wasn't in the ITEMS WANTED section! haha
-
LOL!! Or the review section..

Jan 2010 last update though :/

Who was that ton for Paul sterling against though?
-
Can't find It any where sorry bud.... not many weak teams are in the U19 WC though.....
-
Papa new guinea? Hong Kong? Pretty weak IMO.

Papa New Guinea, USA, Canada, Aghanistan aren't weak? Is Hong Kong even a country?
-
Oh year because the groups always have 5 weaker teams in one group.....
-
at that level they're all quite strong, it's just that the development slows past that stage, and they don't get as much a) top class coaching, b) high level representation and c) funding to pay for the d) best facilities around!

I hope they dont over exert this guy. Aamir is an example of youngster really firing straight away at a very young age. Management didnt handle him too well and his career almost ended at 16. Thankfully he recovered and hopefully he will serve the team well for a long time.
-
U19 cricket is played off of raw talent. and at that age everyone is on the same level team wise
-
I don't think that's true Chaim as the larger playing nations will still have more numbers to choose from. Proof of this is that Australia won the recent U19 World Cup in New Zealand.
-
guessing the 5 overs on 10 overs off bowling restrictions will apply to him?
-
The Pakistani opener? He is a offie Liam.
-
this 15 year old. Thought he was a seamer. my bad
-
He is a spinner and opening bat
