Hyderabad: Raised in Darul Yathama – Yateem Khana, Orphanage, Hyderabad, Syed Ghazi Abbas excelled in cricket.
The 18-year-old southpaw has struggled against all odds, proving his prowess on the bat and the ball. He has amassed 443 runs in five games, including a high of 134 in three centuries and a century and a half, and also scored 15 threes with his left-arm spin bowling in the recently concluded HCA Interscholastic League Championship.

He also has 224 runs and six wickets in two and a half centuries in three matches in the HCA three-day league. He is the top scorer this season. Abbas started his cricketing at the Arshad Ayub Cricket Academy.
He lost his parents when he was 7 years old and has lived in Darul Yathama orphanage near Charminar since then. When asked about his tryst with cricket, he said: “When I was 14, Syed Mehedi Hasan, who played for HCA and Sunrisers Hyderabad, picked four guys from our orphanage and started at Arshad Ayub The Cricket Academy trained us. Since then, Mr Arshad and the academy head coach Mr Kalim Khan have looked after me and I am very grateful to them,” said the left-arm spinner.
Despite his impressive performances, Abbas was not selected for any of the Hyderabad Cricket Association’s domestic championship teams. “I’m the top scorer this season, I’ve played for three centuries, three and a half centuries in the HCA Championship and took 21 wickets. But I’m not on the shortlist for the Vinoo Mankad Trophy and the Cooch Behar Trophy, ‘ said a second year middle school student at Sri Akash Junior College.
“I’m eagerly waiting for an opportunity. If given, I will prove myself and I will give my best. I want to play for India U-19s next year. My ultimate goal is to wear the Indian jersey,” said Abba, who admires Rishab Pant said.
Kalim Khan, who trains Abbas, has come under fire at the HCA for poor team selection. “Abbas did a great job at the HCA tournament. He could have been, but he wasn’t selected for the finals.”
“Abbas is a very talented cricketer. He strives to improve his skills and his game. He never brings personal setbacks into the game. That talent must be encouraged,” said Kalim Khan.
