Mohammad Irfan

Mohammad Irfan is a Pakistani fast bowler who made his mark in international cricket as one of the tallest players ever to play the game at 7 feet 1 inch. Making his international debut in the early 2010s, Irfan quickly became a distinctive figure in Pakistan's bowling attack across all formats. His extraordinary height provided him with a unique bowling angle and bounce that troubled many batsmen, particularly in limited-overs cricket where he found most of his success. Irfan's most productive format was One Day International cricket, where he claimed 83 wickets in 60 matches at an average of 30.71. His ability to generate steep bounce and awkward angles made him particularly effective in the middle overs of limited-overs matches. While his Test career was brief, spanning only 4 matches, he remained a valuable asset in Pakistan's white-ball cricket setup. His bowling statistics reflect his role as a specialist fast bowler, with minimal batting contributions across all formats. Despite facing injury challenges throughout his career due to his unusual physical frame, Irfan's unique attributes and pace bowling made him a memorable figure in international cricket.
