Hanan Khan, the man in the picture is picked to play for Pakistan’s National Cricket Academy (NCA) XI which is scheduled to play two T20 games against a Malaysian side come January 14 and 15 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The teenager from Pakistan dreams of representing the Pakistan national team one day and his rise to fame will definitely help him to realise his dream one day. His is living his dream by selling parathas in Karachi.

Hanan who is a left-handed batsman admitted that he was pretty excited after his inclusion in the side and wasn’t sure whether the call was true or not. “I suspected it was a prank call so I called them back to make sure that someone’s not messing with me. I am incredibly happy to get this chance,” Hanan was quoted as saying by The Express Tribune.

Hanan also thanked the selectors for showing faith in him and selecting him for the two T20s. “I belong to a region where cricket is not played that much but still the selectors come, watch emerging players and give them chances,” Hanan said.
