Ahsan Bhatti’s Journey with Lahore Qalandars

All-rounder Ahsan Bhatti, who is part of the PSL franchise Lahore Qalandars, says that Haris Rauf’s journey to becoming an international cricketer from the Qalandars program is an example for him.

Ahsan Bhatti has been a part of Qalandar’s player development program since the beginning, he has been training at Qalandar’s High Performance Center for the past two years and this time the management of Lahore Qalandar has fully trusted him.

In a conversation with Geo News, Ahsan Bhatti said that the trust the Qalandars have placed in him gives him a lot of encouragement and he tries to live up to this trust.

He said that the facilities available in Lahore Qalandars High Performance Center are not available in any academy in Pakistan and he has improved a lot by getting trained there.

Ahsan Bhatti was the center of attention at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium when he was tasked with defending 11 runs in the last over against Karachi Kings, a target the Qalandar’s bowlers failed to meet.

Talking about this, Ahsan Bhatti said that there was no pressure on him but he went and asked the captain Shaheen Afridi to give him the last over. The last ball from Hamza who got an edge for a single is sad because Hasan Ali played a good shot while Mir Hamza could not play the shot.

The all-rounder of Qalandars said that despite the continuous defeats, the atmosphere in the dressing room of Qalandars is quite positive, Shaheen Afridi and the management have kept the morale of the players high, everyone is focused on winning the remaining matches.

He said that the Qalandars team will not give up until the tournament is over.

Ahsan Bhatti said that he is learning a lot by sharing the dressing room with the top players in PSL.

He said that as many players have come to the top from PSL, they also wish to show their iron here and get the Pakistan cap.
