Muhammad Ghazi Ghori Biography
Ghazi Ghori was born on 16 March 2003 in Karachi, Sindh. A right-handed wicketkeeper-batter, he came through the Sindh age-group system and represented Pakistan Under-19s before breaking into senior domestic cricket. His first-class debut came in the final of the 2023-24 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy for Karachi Whites against Faisalabad Region — a high-pressure occasion for any debutant that he handled with composure.
His maiden first-class century came in December 2023, scoring 110 for Higher Education Commission against WAPDA in the second innings after his side had conceded a first-innings lead. That kind of situational batting, producing runs when they matter most, became a recurring theme.
In January 2026 for State Bank of Pakistan against Ghani Glass, he followed an overnight 113 not out with 138 in the second innings — back-to-back centuries in a single match — sharing a 179-run fourth-wicket partnership with Rameez Aziz. The following month he added 128 not out against WAPDA, his third first-class century of the domestic season, contributing a 148-run third-wicket stand with Mohammad Hurraira.
His franchise exposure came through Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League, adding T20 experience to a red-ball record that had already made him difficult to overlook. In March 2026, Pakistan’s selectors called him up for the white-ball tour of Bangladesh.
He made his ODI debut at Mirpur, walking in at 64 for 3 and scoring 29 in a 50-run partnership with Abdul Samad — a controlled contribution in a difficult position that confirmed what his domestic record had suggested. He retained his place in the squad when Australia toured Pakistan later in the year, finishing the four-match ODI series with 139 runs at 34.75, including a highest score of 65.
The searches around Ghori’s father and family reflect public curiosity about his background, though no public information is available on record. What the record does show is a 23-year-old from Karachi with 1,692 first-class runs at 41.26, 74 dismissals behind the stumps and an ODI career that is already underway. Pakistan have identified him as the long-term successor to Mohammad Rizwan in white-ball cricket, and the evidence so far supports that assessment.
