Another rising star who has been spotted by numerous franchises worldwide is Fazalhaq Farooqi, a 21-year-old who already has established a name for himself in T20 Internationals. His numbers in the 20-over format are also decent as he has managed to scalp 15 wickets in 12 games averaging a mere 18.27.

He debuted in Abu Dhabi against Zimbabwe on March 2021. He was MOM in the Asia Cup 2022 opener against Sri Lanka, claiming 3/11 in only 3.4 overs. He picked vital scalps of Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka and Chamika Karunaratne. He was wicketless against Bangladesh (0/25 in 4 overs). He again failed to pick up a wicket in the Super 4 match against Sri Lanka. In 3.1 overs, he conceded 34 runs.
