DUBAI: Pakistan fast bowler Abdul Subhan, who has taken the cricketing world by storm with his performance in the ongoing Under 19 Asia Cup 2025, is determined to lead his team to victory and claim the coveted title of best bowler in the tournament.
“Irrespective of who the opponent is, the aim is to win the tournament and claim the title of the best bowler of the tournament,” said Subhan, stressing his commitment to not only help Pakistan win but also stand out as the best bowler against the UAE.
So far in the U19 Asia Cup, Subban has taken seven wickets in two matches, including four wickets against UAE and three crucial wickets against India.
Last year, during the U19 Asia Cup held in Dubai, Subhan had an outstanding performance, taking 15 wickets and establishing himself as a key player.
“For a fast bowler, the ideal pitch is one that offers both pace and bounce, and maintaining line and length is vital to taking wickets,” explained Subhan.
He also mentioned that Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath is his role model and follows McGrath’s style of bowling in his own practice. “I try to bowl as per the requirements of the team,” added Subhan.
Subhan’s remarks come as the national team on Tuesday sealed their place in the semi-finals of the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2025 after defeating the UAE by 70 runs in a must-win encounter at the ICC Academy.
Chasing a tough target of 242 runs, the hosts were bowled out for a paltry 171 in 37.5 overs despite Ayaan Misbah’s quick-fire half-century.
Subhan, in the said match, led the bowling and dismissed four batters for just 31 runs in his 7.5 overs.
With Pakistan’s qualification, all four semi-finals of the U19 Asia Cup 2025 were confirmed as India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh had already progressed to the knockout stage.
