Pakistan's swashbuckling opener Fakhar Zaman celebrates his 30th birthday on Friday (April 10, 2020). Hailing from Mardan, the southpaw is a hard-hitting batsman who likes to attack the bowlers from the outset. He burst onto the scenes during the 2017 Champions Trophy where he played several match-defining knocks and played a crucial role in guiding his side to the title. Since then, the left-handed opener became a cornerstone of Pakistan's batting line-up in white-ball cricket. Also with the ICC T20 World Cup 2020 scheduled to be played later this year, Pakistan's success will be critical to Zaman's form.
