Team India is to leave for the Australia tour on 10th November. But, before that Pakistan's tour of Australia started. The first ODI match between Pakistan and Australia is in Melbourne. Both the teams have already announced the playing eleven for this match. 21-year old middle order batsman Irfan Khan is going to make his debut from Pakistan. For Irfan, this opportunity is also a way to live his dream. Irfan Khan had mentioned this dream of his in an interview given to PCB.

left home in the year 2017

Irfan has also won laurels for Pakistan in Under 19 cricket. But, his journey to the national team was not easy. He had to make many efforts to wear the Pakistan team jersey. Irfan, who had decided to make cricket his career, left home at the age of just 14. In 2017, he left his home and came to Faisalabad so that he could get better cricket training. Here, leaving home means keeping a distance. Irfan said in the interview that he did not go home for 6-7 months.

In the interview, Irrfan Khan mentioned Salman Bhai's academy, which he joined to learn cricket after coming to Faisalabad. The cricket bug had bitten him in the school itself. He got a chance to hone his skills at Salman's academy.

Desperate to make the dream come true in Australia

In the interview video shared by PCB, Irfan Khan is seen saying that he wants to play against Australia for Pakistan. His dream has come true as he got a chance to debut in the first match of the ODI series. The second thing he said was that better performance against big teams makes you a big player. I want to see myself emerging as a match-winner against Australia. If Irfan is seen living this dream after getting a chance to debut, then it would not be wrong to say that there is something in the player.
