:lol:
Once the first one gets in there could be 9 Naqvi's in our line up.
It's the Zim Pakistani community that showed them which doors to knock on...and they know!! There will be half a billion Pakistanis watching this development with much interest.

Used to be 4 years at least
But he hasn’t represented another country so I don’t see why he can’t play as soon as the residency is registered.
Actually I think you have to live there 9 months in the year
It’s either:
Born in the country
OR Full passport holder
OR resident full-time for three years.


They’ll just give him a passport and he’s eligible instantly.


It’s disgusting and whoever compared him to Raza is so wrong. Their stories are not even 1% similar. Fuck this Naqvi guy no matter how good he is.

Why the hate mate? He seems to be keen on representing Zimbabwe and putting in the yards at club cricket. Speaks well too. Are we in a situation where we can turn down blokes scoring FC centuries and taking wickets?

So fuck. If he wants to play for Zim.good for him l (and us if he is good). International cricket representative rules are a joke. Look at the Dutch team. Or Ireland. Or England!

Honestly, I don't see the difference between him and, say, PJ. I don't care where his Granny is from he is also as Irish as a polar bear. The world isn't utopia and the horse has bolted in terms of 11 native born players playing for a country.

Good luck to him say I.

Fuck him and the yak he rode in on. Don't care how good he is or isn't. Epitomises everything wrong in our country.

Well for a start PJ has Irish blood, has had an Irish passport for years, and did three years qualifying period.

This Pakistani dude has thrown a shit tonne of money at some people and is being handed a passport on a plate and straight into the team of a country he knows nothing about.

Again a stupid comparison.
