IPL Mini Auction 2023 : Who is the 15 year old player registered?
IPL 2023 Mini Auction : Who is the 15 year old player registered? : On December 23, in Kochi, the IPL mini auction 2023 will be held. One Afghan man may make headlines, but not because he incited a bidding war!
Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar may end up being the player that is purchased at the IPL auctions who is the youngest. He’s barely fifteen.
The auction, which will take place on December 23, lists 405 players, so it would be intriguing to see if he is selected or not. However, only 87 spots are up for grabs.
The Paktia-born 15-year-old registered himself for a starting price of 20 Lakhs.
Those who have observed Ghazanfar in the Afghanistan cricket circuit believe he is patterned after Mujeeb Zadran, a well-known finger-spinner in both franchise leagues and international cricket.
For the time being, he has signed up for franchise cricket’s most anticipated auctions in the hopes of striking it fortunate on D-Day. He had put his name forward for the Big Bash League auctions, but did not find any takers.
Ghazanfar stands at 6 feet 2 inches. Considering his height, he begun as a fast bowler but gradually transitioned to a spinner under the watchful tutelage of the former Afghanistan captain Dawlat Ahmadzai.
Who is his inspiration?
He said,
“Ashwin has been a champion spinner for India, and I like his variations. I have always considered him my inspiration,”
His Journey with cricket:
“I started with tennis ball cricket and would play in my neighbourhood, but under the guidance of my coach, I started bowling spin, and soon, I developed an action, and there hasn’t been any looking back since.”
“I have played a fair bit of junior cricket, and my ultimate target is to play for Afghanistan. The IPL will help me improve my game and I am really looking forward to the experience. I hope to get picked by a franchise,” he said.
As the IPL Mini Auction 2023 is set to happen in a couple of days, there will be ten teams engaged in a bidding war to secure the best team for the Indian Premier League in 2023, which is not too far away.
Fun Fact:
Ghazanfar is just 2 month older than the IPL itself.
