6’4’’ tall, quick, with a strong bowling action. Ehsan Adil comes from a long line of fast bowlers with their roots in Punjab who started off with tape-ball cricket on the streets. In 2012, straight out of the under-19s and with barely a year into First Class cricket, Ehsan was fast-tracked into the Pakistan national squad. And in his first Test, off the third ball he bowled, he had Graeme Smith’s wicket against his name. Again, he was only 19!

In the 2022 season of Minor League Cricket, while playing for Golden State Grizzlies, he snapped up 18 wickets in 10 games at an economy of 7.35. In the inaugural MLC season too, he stood out with his tidy spells, keeping it economical even in tough situations. 

He swings the new ball, reverses the old, possesses a deadly yorker, and with his experience, can be banked on to bowl at any stage of the match.
