Hassan Eisakhil smashes his father Mohammad Nabi for six

In the ongoing Shpageeza Cricket League 2025, 18-year-old Hassan Eisakhil made headlines after hitting a six off his father, Afghanistan's legendary all-rounder Mohammad Nabi. The contest took place during the 8th match between Amo Sharks and Mis Ainak Knights in Kabul, where both father and son were representing different teams.

While the veteran cricketer was representing Mis Ainak Knights, his son Eisakhil opened the batting for Amo Sharks. The incident took place when Hassan swept his father for a huge six over midwicket and brought up his half-century two overs later. In the same over, Nabi conceded 12 runs and was taken off the attack, finishing with figures of 0/12.

Who is Hassan Eisakhil?

Eisakhil, born on July 28, 2006, has already grabbed attention with his cricketing brilliance. The tall right-handed opening batter's first moments of heroics came in a domestic match with a 45-ball 150 in 2024. He played for Chitwan Rhinos in the Nepal Premier League and scored a match-winning 52-ball 65 against the Royals.

In 2025, Hassan notched up centuries in Afghanistan’s top first-class competition and continued to impress with consistent runs, including a 143 in the Merwais Nika 3-Day Trophy. In the ongoing Shpageeza League game against his father's team, he scored 52 off 36 balls, lacing his knock with five fours and two sixes.

Mohammad Nabi wishes to play with his son Hassan Eisakhil for Afghanistan

Earlier in 2025, Mohammad Nabi expressed his dream to play alongside Hassan in ODIs for Afghanistan. Despite planning to retire after the Champions Trophy 2025, Nabi reversed his decision.

"These might not be my last ODIs (the Champions Trophy) and I will probably play less ODIs and give chances to the youngsters to build experience. I've discussed with the senior players and in the high-level games, maybe or maybe not, we'll see. It will depend on my fitness. It's my dream (to play together for the country) and hopefully we can do it. He is doing very well, he is a hard worker and I'm also pushing him to work. I want him to make his own goals, if you want to get to be a high-level cricketer, you have to work hard. It's not enough to make 50 or 60, you have to score 100-plus. He's listening and pushing all the time. When he can talk to me, I try to give him advice to give him confidence for the game," Nabi was quoted on ICC.
