Pakistan’s young left-arm pacer, Akif Javed, has continuously impressed the cricketing world during the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League 2025 season. The tournament has witnessed Akif Javed’s rise as the fastest bowler, consistently clocking speeds close to 150 km/h. The left-arm quick has set the speed gun ablaze, further cementing his status as one of the most exciting fast-bowling prospects in franchise cricket.

Akif’s remarkable pace has been a game-changer for Rangpur Riders in the Bangladesh Premier League, consistently troubling batters with sharp bounce and movement. His impact is evident in his 19 wickets from 10 games, at a stellar average of just 13.26.
With Pakistan constantly on the lookout for express pacers, Akif’s performances in the BPL could put him in contention for a national call-up. Given his domination in domestic and franchise cricket, the 24-year-old could soon be donning Pakistan’s colours—provided he delivers another strong performance for Multan Sultans in the upcoming PSL 10. His raw pace and growing experience in high-level cricket make him a valuable future asset for Pakistan, and his standout performances in the BPL are only strengthening his case.
