Relations in the game of cricket are not new. We have witnessed many members of the same family participate in the game at the highest level. It will be a proud moment for the family if more than one has represented them at an event like the ODI World Cup. This is set to happen later this year in India. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three cricketers whose nephews will play in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
1) Inzamam Ul Haq – Imam Ul Haq (Pakistan)
One of the high-profile pairs in this regard is that of Inzamam and Imam. Interestingly, Inzamam is the current Chief Selector of Pakistan and will select Imam for the World Cup.
Imam is an in-form cricketer and one of the best ODI batters right now. He will open the batting and a few big knocks are expected from his bat.
2) Arshad Ali (UAE) – Abdullah Shafique (Pakistan)
Arshad Ali is one of the cricketers whose nephews will play in the 2023 ODI World Cup. While Arshad could not achieve a lot in the game, his nephew is the future of Pakistan cricket.
Abdulla Shafique has had a terrific start to his career. While it is the Test format that has seen his brilliance, it might not be long before the other formats follow. He is a part of the setup and is sure to be picked for the 2023 ODI World Cup. It will be a fine experience for the youngster to play at this level.
3) Noor Ali Zadran – Ibrahim Zadran and Mujeeb Ur Rahman (Afghanistan)
There are not many active uncle-nephew pairs in international cricket. However, Noor Ali Zadran and his nephews might make that possible. While it may not happen in the ODI World Cup, it could happen after that.
Both Ibrahim and Mujeeb will play a crucial role for the Afghans at the 2023 ODI WC. Ibrahim is in fine form and will look to make a point in the top-order. Mujeeb is an experienced name and will enjoy suitable conditions in India.
