Date of birth
- it appears that Sky Sports have his DoB as 7 March 1985 (or 3 July, but I assume 7 March) but that just about every other source has it as 1 January - CricInfo, Cricbuzz, NDTV, News18, Cricket world cup etc... I think Sky have gotten the date from CricketArchive, so there's clearly some confusion - CA also gives his place of birth as Peshawar rather than Logar, so this may be where some of the confusion is arising from.

However, I checked back through his Twitter timeline and there are several tweets which he retweeted from 1 January wishing him happy birthday - including from the Afghanistan Cricket Board, Sunrisers Hydrabad and the ICC. Given that there are none on 7 March doing the same and that he retweeted so many on 1 January, I'd say that's fairly conclusive that his DoB is 1 Jan.

I'll add a note to his profile to say that there's some confusion, but it wouldn't be the first time that a source has gotten something like this wrong and then not all the relevant sources have been corrected. If anyone disagrees with this lets discuss it here first. Thanks. Blue Square Thing (talk) 11:13, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Ah, good idea. Merci beaucoup etc... (that's about as good as my French gets these days I'm afraid - unless I'm in a kitchen) Blue Square Thing (talk) 15:06, 27 June 2019 (UTC)


 * There's a possibility that his true birthday is 7 March. 1 January is used by a lot of Afghans because of a lack of official registration in the 1980s/1990s : its the default date. Some don't even know their year of birth. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 20:14, 27 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you - that's really interesting. Although I'm not sure how 7 March would be known. Not sure what to do with the article mind you - do we have an article on this phenomena? Blue Square Thing (talk) 21:16, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
