Profile
After impressing one and all at the NCA in Pakistan, Mohammad Irfan got numerous offers from various domestic sides. But it was Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) and Pakistan opener Azhar Ali who recommended his name to his head coach after Irfan impressed in a game against Pakistan A. He was signed on by KRL after he accepted their offer for a trial.
Due to lack of opportunities in his home town of Gaggu Mandi, he quit cricket and did a full time job in order to provide income for his family. Former Pakistan bowler Aaqib Javed noticed his talent and enrolled him into the NCA in Lahore. It wasn't long before he was called up as a replacement for Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amer. His ODI debut was cut shot due to rain and then while bowling he suffered cramps. He was considered to be one of the tallest fast bowlers of his generation. In 2011, he was selected by the Kolkata for the IPL but couldn't participate. However, a year later, he was back in national colours, playing his first T20I against India.
