Coming From Gilgit-Baltistan, Riazat Ali Shah Eager To Leave A Mark For Uganda At The T20 World Cup
Aziz Damani Sports Club: With its mesmerizing mountain peaks and countless glaciers, the Gilgit-Baltistan region in northern Pakistan has gained a reputation for its natural beauty. However, the scenic beauty surrounding him failed to captivate Riazat Ali Shah's attention, as he developed a powerful love for cricket.
He admired Wasim Akram for his personality and left-arm fast-bowling skills for Pakistan. He became a big fan of Kevin Pietersen's fast and modern-day cricket during a time when T20 cricket wasn't popular.
Now, Riazat, 26, is ready to play in the men's T20 World Cup. However, there's a twist - Riazat will wear Uganda's yellow jersey as they debut in the showpiece event, with the all-rounder, who also bowls right-arm medium pace, serving as their vice-captain.
