Irfan Ismail

Mohammad Irfan Ismail (born 14 February 1992) is a Pakistani cricketer who has played limited overs and Twenty20 matches for the Quetta Bears and a single first-class match for Quetta.

From Quetta, a city in Balochistan, Irfan debuted for Quetta District in under-19 inter-district matches in mid-2007, at the age of 15. He made his first-class debut for Quetta in February 2009, five days after his seventeenth birthday, playing against Hyderabad in the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy. A left-arm orthodox spinner and left-handed lower-order batsman, he failed to take a wicket from 14 overs on debut. While batting, he scored five runs in the first innings and recorded a golden duck in the second.

Irfan made his limited-overs debut the following month, playing five matches for the Quetta Bears in the Royal Bank of Scotland Cup. Despite his young age, he served as the side's captain, with wicket-keeper Bismillah Khan as his vice-captain. Irfan took seven wickets during the tournament, with his best figures 3/57 from ten overs against the Abbottabad Rhinos. In a later match, against the Karachi Dolphins, he made his highest score, 17 runs from 22 balls. The Dolphins had earlier scored 364/2 from their 50 overs, with Irfan's opposing captain, Khalid Latif, making 204 not out, a rare one-day double century.

Later in the 2008–09 season, Irfan played two Twenty20 matches for the Quetta Bears franchise in the RBS Twenty-20 Cup, against the Faisalabad Wolves and the Lahore Lions. He took only a single wicket during the tournament.
