He’s doing it though, can’t fault his drive at all. Thousands talk a good game online but never take the plunge.
Time will tell, good luck to him. Shady old Naq Dawg yo

Re: Antum Naqvi
He’s snuck under the radar of late hey. Facts are he’s trying to play the system in the third world trying to live his dream of playing international cricket for his third choice side, or maybe the only side shady enough to go along with his shenanigans. There’s definitely questions about his stats considering he couldn't get a game in Australia or Pakistan.

Re: Antum Naqvi
Zim is at least his 5th choice as well... Not 3rd.
Has spent a year in the UK, and been involved as a development player with Jamaica Tallawahs at the CPL. Obviously never able to break through in either of those systems as an overseas player.

Re: Antum Naqvi
I cant fault him for not cracking the Sheffield Shield in Oz.
That is tough.
What concerns me is he only played levels wayyyyyyy lower than that. If he was in Sydney Grade 1sts or even 2nds Id looka at him but he was well below it
And not cracking Windie domestic also an issue since they are only 1 step above us now.
Who knows though, maybe he is a better player now. To go through this effort shows some drive. His rich fam could have BT coaching him 3 days a week.

Re: Antum Naqvi
Netherlands have selected some West Indian bowler in their squad now. Every country has so many players who are not exactly 'locals', I don't know why should we have a huge problem with Naqvi tbh.

Re: Antum Naqvi
Do you mean Daniel Doram? He is very literally Dutch and from the Netherlands.
The Netherlands have a number of colonies still in that part of the world. He’s from St Martin which is a Dutch island in the Caribbean.

He's also played for the Netherlands before.

Re: Antum Naqvi
Daniel Doram has been playing for Netherlands since he was 15. Massive difference between him and Naqvi.

Re: Antum Naqvi
What more can this guy do? I'd be very disappointed if the administration isn't doing everything in their power to secure this guy eligibility to play for Zimbabwe. And when he is eligible, he walks straight into the Zimbabwe team.
