Saqib triggers spectacular SL collapse: 1st Test, Day 4 (Rawalpindi)

Saqib Khan is a right-arm fast-medium bowler and right-handed lower-order batsman who emerged through the domestic cricket system after a relatively late start to his professional career.

Born on 9 September 1995 in Karachi, he made his first-class debut in 2024 and represented several domestic teams, including Karachi Region, Engro Dolphins, Khan Research Laboratories and State Bank of Pakistan. His consistent performances and ability to take wickets earned him recognition in Pakistan’s domestic competitions and a place with Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League.

Khan earned his maiden Pakistan Test call-up for the home series against Sri Lanka in November 2026, making an immediate impression on his international debut. He claimed seven wickets for 130 runs in Sri Lanka’s first innings, announcing himself with an outstanding performance against an experienced batting line-up. His seven-wicket haul was a significant milestone in his career and marked the arrival of another promising fast bowler in Pakistan cricket.
