"Today is my debut game and I'm very excited," Dahani tells the PCB media team. “I'm so excited that I can't express my feelings. I couldn't sleep for joy last night, ”he added.

“I had two wishes; one that I could debut [live] in front of my parents, but unfortunately we are in Bangladesh and they are not here. Second, I also wanted to play my debut game in front of my people in Sindh, ”he added. Dahani said his family's village is near Larkana, where he started playing tape ball cricket as a child. “I was very passionate about playing cricket. I pursued this passion and have never regretted it, ”he added.

He thanked the people at Larkana effusively for showing him love and support after taking the most wickets in the latest edition of PSL. "I cannot describe the way you greeted me when I returned to Larkana," he said. "You must be really happy that a Larkana cricketer makes his Pakistan debut today."

Dahani said it was the happiest moment of his life taking the most wickets in PSL 6. The right pacemaker said he wanted to win the Player of the Game award in his debut game and said it will be a "great achievement" for him.

"Insha’Allah, I will give my 100% in the match. However, the results are in Allah Mian's hands, ”he added.
