question

Q: Bilal Qureshi joined Hawkesbury Cricket Club at the start of the 2019/20 after playing for a number of clubs in NSW Premier Cricket.

What’s been your most memorable moment in cricket so far?

Making my first-class debut in Pakistan (2014), and a very close second was when I scored 208 not out in NSW Premier Cricket for Blacktown in 2nd Grade against Gordon a few seasons ago, and then my first T20 hundred in the US Open (Miami) in 2018.

Bilal has played first class cricket in Pakistan as a top order batsman.
