Kohli, Williamson played for under-19 in 2008.  Babar Azam played for under-19 in 2010. I very much doubt he is as old as he says. Probably atleast a couple of years older than actually stated age.  Hazlewood, Kane Ricahrdson, Jason Holder AHmed shezhad  are from Babar Azam's batch. "15 year old" babar even bowled a 10 over spell in a match lol

He played in 2012 also, as captain and was 17 , whats wrong with that ? Why you guys always think negative.

Sehwag, Dhoni, Harbhajan - these guys ages were fudged - Indians don't hesitate to acknowledge it.  Even Shami  right now.

 

Its mystifying why the first instinct, and even beyond, for greenbro fans, is to deny, obfuscate, justify.  Whether its the obvious age frauds, or even the spot-fixing.

It is not negative. He is not as young as he claims. Yes if you claim you are 15 in 2010 you can still play in 2012.  Did watch 2010 world cup. He didn't look like a 15 year old at all.

He is 30, happy now, how that will change your life ? Don;t you have better things to do other than always picking on Pakistan crickets.

Until Dhoni's beard turned grey, he looked his official age as well. Nobody could tell he was 5 year overage.

Bro, one of my friend is barely in his late 20 and he had a lot of white hair. Hell I even have some growing and am barely 30. Not saying that age wasn't smudged, just saying that it's not always the best indication

His age is verifiable. Worked in railways. He looked 24 when he made debut. He is a bit like Tamil actor Ajith. Greyed too early.  He had gray hairs even in 2011. Probably genes. Tendulkar is older. He hardly has any gray hair.

All that is fine - but its a wellknown fact that Sehwag, Bhajji, Dhoni - all of these guys official ages are off by a year or 2.  It was the done thing in the late 90s and early 2000s.

It's cool that you have weaved a narrative in your head based on random pictures and railway employment. But as you said, his age is verifiable. Way back in 2011, immediately after the WC win, the local cable operator in ranchi had interviewed his teachers, classmates and people from mecon colony. My suspicion is your andh bhakti wouldn't allow you to accept your personal greek god is closer to 50 than you think.

Your narrative is based on what? gray hair? lol  You are saying he played his first international match when he was 33? I am no Dhoni bhakth lol What you say is ridiculous.

Could be an year or two. But Pakistanis have been doing this for years holding some of these "age based records".  16 year old afridi, Naseem shah, 15 year old hasan ali, babar azam.
