Perhaps the tallest bowler in the international circuit, his exact height has been an issue that has been disputed, but there is no question that he remains the tallest bowler at the moment. Born on June 6, 1982 in Guggu Mandi, which also produced another tall Pakistani bowler, Mohammad Zahid, Irfan manages to get extra bounce from even the most placid of tracks.

Coming from a traditional farming family, Irfan once even gave up playing cricket to support his family. But as luck would have it, he was noticed by Aaqib Javed, who summoned him to National Academy in Lahore. An excellent season for the Khan Research Laboratories saw him being picked for the England tour in 2010.

Irfan failed to make an impression on his debut, an ODI at Chester-le-Street and was promptly axed from the side. He had to wait until the end of 2012 for his second chance, and since his return to the Pakistan squad for the short tour of India, has become the lynch-pin of the Pakistani bowling line-up.

Irfan made his Test debut at Cape Town during the South Africa tour in 2013. His height, the pace and the bounce with which he delivers have made him a hot prospect for Pakistan. His lean structure also makes him prone for injuries though. He is currently recovering from a hip injury, which forced him to miss the series against Sri Lanka in the UAE in 2013-14.

Irfan returned to the ODI side in August 2014 against Sri Lanka. Since then, he has played Australia and New Zealand, leading the attack with success. He will Misbah's go-to man in the 2015 World Cup in Australia, a place where Irfan will enjoy bowling because of the bounce he generates. Muhammad Irfan is upcoming left arm fast bowler who also declared tallest international cricketer of the world with the height of 7.1″ feet.

Muhammad Irfan surprised every one in the India tour 2012 with his pace and line or length. No Indian batsmen feel easy to play against him.

Irfan was play 2 ODI’s back in 2010 against England but not impress the selectors and cricket fans.

Waseem Akram, Ravi Shastri and other experts who working as a commentator praised about his talent.

He born in a small town in Gaggu Mandi which near Vehari. He played from KRL department and represent Multan Region in domestic circuit.

He made his debut in Feb 12, 2010 against Lahore Eagles and he impressed every one from his match and his match figure was 20 Runs in 8 overs and took 1 wicket. Shoaib Akhter was also played that match from KRL side.

Now time will tell how much talent inside him. Our best wishes with him.
