Usman has played one one-day international and 25 T20 internationals for the Green Shirts. His career has not been as illustrious as his father’s — legendary bowler Abdul Qadir.
Abdul Qadir’s son said he would be continuing his dad’s legacy, embracing both his love for cricket and the lessons his dad instilled in him, as he stepped into the new chapter.
“I carry with me the spirit of Pakistan cricket and the cherished memories we created together. Thank you for everything.”
