Please introduce yourself to the Asian World? For example your age, your background etc
My name is Kamran Younas 29 years old – born in Gujranwala in Pakistan. I would describe myself as a destructive right handed batsman and bowl left arm spin. Teams: Sialkot Stallions and Port Qasim
Kamrans is contracted been by pro elite sports, he almost broke the Bolton League Batting record when on debut this season scoring a mammoth 211 runs an innings which consisted of 18 sixes and 17 fours. I was eventually out with still 5 over’s remaining and 24 runs short of AdilNisars batting record. Having represented Sialkot Stallions in the champions league in South Africa, it’s just a taste of better things to come. I have also played the u19’s world cup for Pakistan in New Zealand and has been on standby in 2 senior world cup squads.
Why did you choose to follow this particular sport?
It’s a passion which became a dream, growing up watching the games great players – who now are legends
How long has it taken you to really see any glimmer of success?
Probably back in 1996 scoring runs at U16s Domestic cricket and a dream 1st class debut where I scored 64 not out Vs Hyderabad.
Is this the dream for you..Or are you still waiting to accomplish the dream?
A dream, not accomplished as I still have dreams of representing Pakistan.
Was there a profound moment or something that happened in your life that made you turn to this particular sport?
It has to be 1992 World Cup – Watching Imran Khans cornered tigers come back from the dead to win was a great feeling.
How hard is it to become recognised and move up the ranks of success?
Is it for everyone? Very very hard but now it is easier than a decade ago, I guess you need a bit of luck too.
Who do you look up to?
Batting idol has to be Brian Lara – a legend in the game carrying the team alone. A firm favourite,sheer class.
Who would you like to work with?
Have ambitions of playing county cricket in the future as I have applied for my spouse visa – having married from London. Surrey CCC has to top the list – complete county – good team – excellent facilities and a good batting wicket!

Not really, jus carful of what you intake and stay away from junk food!

Don’t waste your chance, focus and be 100% committed the drive and passion to succeed and mostly enjoy it.
