Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Mohammad Irfan got to represent Khan Research laboratories on the recommendation of Azhar Ali. On the back of few notable domestic performances, Irfan got a chance to feature for Pakistan. The lanky left-arm pacer made his ODI debut against England in 2010 but after being fraught with cramps and a not-so-impressive performance on debut, Irfan was dropped from the side without more ado.
After working hard on his fitness and pace for couple of years, Irfan got another chance to play for Pakistan and this time it was against India in 2012-2013. Irfan built pressure on Indian batsmen with his shipshape bowling and his partner Junaid Khan made the most out of it from the other end by picking wickets at regular intervals. End result - Pakistan won the 3-match series by thrashing India in their own backyard by a 2-1 margin. Since then Irfan featured regularly in Pakistan's ODI team until he was banned for a year by Pakistan Cricket Board for failing to report approaches to corrupt the game during Pakistan Super League 2017 in March the same year.
Irfan made his Test debut in 2013 but as he was prone to injuries he failed to cement his place in the longest format. In the limited-over formats, he has been mighty impressive, be it ODIs or T20Is. And more than taking wickets, it's his capability to contain batsmen that makes him a handy bowler. Any batsman in the world would find it intimidating when such a tall bowler delivers from an elevation of close to eight feet. In Pakistan Super League 2018 Mohammad Irfan is a part of Multan Sultans alongside speedsters like Junaid Khan and Sohail Tanvir, hence Sultans are one of the stronger contenders to win that PSL title.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Confusion remains over Mohammad Irfan's actual height - the PCB has variously measured him at 6'8", 6'10" and 7'1". If he is indeed 7'1", he could be the tallest cricketer around, surpassing his idol Joel Garner. Irfan is a product of rural Pakistan, hailing from the eastern Pakistan town of Gaggu Mandi, which produced another tall former Pakistan quick, Mohammad Zahid. The lack of opportunities in his home town forced him to quit playing cricket and seek full-time employment to support his family. He was working in a plastic pipe factory and playing club cricket before Aaqib Javed had summoned him to the National Cricket Academy in Lahore. Aaqib was enthused by what he saw and soon after, he was playing first-class cricket for Khan Research Laboratories. He took nine wickets in his second game and ended the season with an impressive 43 wickets in ten games. He came close to national selection when he was named as a replacement for one of the injured seamers for the 2010 World Twenty20, but his name was withdrawn.
He continued to toil away in domestic cricket, and worked on increasing his pace and fitness. His efforts paid off in 2012 as he was picked for the limited-overs series in India, where he was regularly quicker than 140kph, and troubled the batsmen with extra bounce. His performances rewarded him a spot on the tour of South Africa, where he made his Test debut.
