Fates align as Haseeb Hameed makes homecoming debut [Proud of Bharuchi Patel Community]

Haseeb Hameed, England’s 19-year-old Test debutant, will be playing both with and against his heroes in Rajkot tomorrow, in front of his Gujarat-based extended family.

MESSAGE FROM HASEEB HAMED

I guess a lot of things are meant to be. The fact that it is against India in the home state of my parents – they are from a small village near Bharuch and my dad’s village is called Umraj – the way it has fallen in to place is amazing. My brother has just had his wedding in Gujarat. I see it as fate.”

Let’s hope he scores a hundred on debut
