Waqar, a student of BS Zoology, balances his studies with the responsibilities of a security guard to fund his education. However, amidst his academic pursuits and work commitments, Waqar’s true passion lies in the world of cricket commentary.

His love for the English language was nurtured during his O and A-level studies, where he practised diligently without regular English courses. The art of commentary, he learned, came from hours of listening to cricket commentators, absorbing their styles and techniques.
While some liken his commentary to that of New Zealand commentator Danny Morrison, Waqar insists on his unique style and tone, reflecting his individuality and passion for the game.
“I don’t follow anyone but commentate in my own style and tone, which people like a lot but some people say my commentating style is like Danny Morrison.”
