Fazalhaq Farooqi, the young and promising cricketer, has swiftly risen to prominence on the international stage, representing Afghanistan. Despite his recent debut in cricket, the 23-year-old has already left a lasting impression with his outstanding performances. This article delves into Fazalhaq Farooqi’s financial status, including his net worth and salary.
Fazalhaq Farooqi’s career trajectory is unique in the modern era of cricket. He made his international debut before his domestic debut, which is not very common. His T20 debut for Afghanistan took place on 20th March 2021 in a match against Zimbabwe. He later marked his ODI debut against the Netherlands at Doha on 25th January 2024, further solidifying his position in the international cricket scene.
In February 2022, he was picked by Indian Premier League side Sunrisers Hyderabad and has stayed with them ever since. He has also represented various other domestic franchises in different leagues. He has played for Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) side Minister Dhaka and Pakistan Super League (PSL) side Islamabad United.

Fazalhaq Farooqi has also played in the Big Bash League, representing Sydney Thunder in this competition. However, his contract was terminated following an investigation by Cricket Australia into a behavioural incident involving Farooqi, which occurred on 15th December 2022 and involved the alleged harassment of female cricketing staff. These domestic contracts have helped Fazalhaq Farooqi accumulate an estimated net worth of ₹3 Crore.

Sunrisers Hyderabad bought Fazalhaq Farooqi in the IPL 2022 auctions. His base price was set at ₹50 Lakh, and the left-hand pacer was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad at his base price. He has stayed on with SRH in the IPL while playing for other teams in other domestic leagues. The money he earns from these domestic contracts is one of his biggest sources of revenue.
Farooqi has now been selected to represent MI Emirates in the International League T20 in 2024. After having a stellar T20 World Cup, he will be determined to impress even further. The 23-year-old pacer looks hungry to prove his worth to the world. The IPL mega auction is coming up, which could be a turning point in his career.
While Sunrisers Hyderabad will most likely not retain the player, Fazalhaq Farooqi can easily secure a move to one of the top franchises if he continues to play how he has in the T20 World Cup. A bidding war between teams could see his price tag rise exponentially, which will help further boost his net worth.
