His real breakthrough was the 2006-07 season where Fawad outshone the rest by miles. That same year, he was invited to join the National Cricket Academy (NCA), a pool of talented individuals to be groomed for the elite level. He was then named in the U-19 squad to play the touring Sri Lankans and South Africa Academy teams. He was duly picked to represent Pakistan at the U-19 World Cup based on his performances with Pakistan Customs and Karachi on the domestic circuit.Īn unbeaten 43 in the semi-final against India not only guided Pakistan to the final (which they went on to win), but also marked his status as an immensely talented left-handed allrounder (something that Pakistan agonisingly lacks). Fawad Alam, son of Pakistan's famous first-class cricketer Tariq Alam, made his first-class debut at the age of 17.
