Career



Early career


Sohail was born in Karachi, Pakistan, but moved to Malawi at an early age.[4]

Sohail was under the Malawian cricket radar early, and played under the developmental academy, the Cricket Academy, before being eventually selected for the national under-19 team in 2017, and then being made under-19 captain in April 2020.[5] Sohail was then selected for the Malawi national team in 2018 for the 2018-19 ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier after his performance following his under-19 performances the year prior.[6][7]


Domestic career


In May 2022, Sohail was selected to play for the Chicago Tigers in the 2022 Minor League Cricket season.[8]


International career


Sohail made his T20 debut on October 28, 2018, against Namibia.[9] He then continued to play consistently for the Malawian team after his debut.[10] However, the Malawian team placed 5th and were unable to qualify for the 2019 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier.[11]

Following Sohail's good performance in the Africa Qualifiers, he was selected in Malawi's squad for the 2019 T20 Kwacha Cup.[12] Additionally, due to the ICC's decision to award every member T20I status, each match in the 2019 T20 Kwacha Cup had T20I status.[13] Sohail made his T20I debut on 6 November 2019, against Mozambique in the opening match of the Kwacha Cup.[14][15] He was a regular in the side, as he scored 115 runs and took 14 wickets.[16][15] Unfortunately, after the Kwacha Cup, Sohail didn't play for the rest of 2020 and the majority of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[17]

Sohail marked his return to international cricket with his selection into the Malawian side for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier in October 2021.[18] Sohail played the tournament on a regular basis,[19] and scored 197 runs, and took 6 wickets.[20] The Malawians placed a record 3rd, but were still unable to qualify for the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup qualifiers.[20]
