The footballer, who has previously captained the national team, has participated in 25 international matches for Pakistan and will be representing the Salalah club in the 2023-24 season.

Although he is not currently part of the national squad, he played a crucial role in Pakistan’s victory over India in a two-match series in Bangalore in 2014, where he scored an important goal in the second game.

He has also been part of the Pakistan team in the last three Asian Games, leading them to victory in 2018 when they defeated Nepal, securing their first win in the Games’ history in 21 years. Additionally, he served as captain during the AFC Under-19 Championships qualifiers in 2010 in Iran.

While the Pakistan men’s national team is preparing for a FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier against Cambodia next month, the national women’s team is currently participating in a six-nation tournament in Saudi Arabia later this month.
