Profile

Left-arm wristies are a rare commodity in cricket. And then add the mystery element to it. Waqar Salamkheil, with his quick arm action, is almost a mirror image of a bowling action as that of his fellow countryman, Rashid Khan. 

A globetrotter and a regular with many other T20 teams around the world, Salamkheil’s best season came about in 2020 where he emerged as the highest wicket-taker in the Shpageeza Cricket League with 13 wickets in seven matches. This UAE expedition is set to be another learning curve for the youngster in conditions that would offer him good assistance.
