Farveez Maharoof is a young fast-bowling allrounder
of exciting potential, and bowls lively seamers from an upright,
open-chested action. Sri Lanka's selectors, impressed by his
performances as under-19 captain, fast-tracked him into the national
squad for the Zimbabwe tour as they looked towards the future and
the 2007 World Cup. Faced with a weak opposition, Maharoof picked up
a bunch of wickets, but then came up against better competitors
during the Asia Cup. He performed reasonably well, and made a mark
with his swinging deliveries when South Africa came visiting. He had
worked his way up through the representative ranks, playing for Sri
Lanka under-15, under-17 and under-19, and led the under-19 team on
four tours, including the 2004 Youth World Cup in Bangladesh. He
enjoyed a prolific school career for Wesley College, with a highest
score of 243 and best bowling figures of 8 for 20. Opportunities in
the Test team have been limited but in the one-day side he has
started to cement a permanent spot. A mean display during the ICC
Champions Trophy in England, when he exploited the end-of-summer
conditions expertly, suggests he could be especially useful when Sri
Lanka play in seamer-friendly conditions. His batting is yet to
click for the senior team but his talent is obvious and a
middle-order position for the under-19 team suggests that with time
he has the raw ingredients to become one of Sri Lanka's finest
allrounders. Most importantly, he has also indicated in his brief
international career that he is comfortable under pressure, the
traditional Achilles Heel of Sri Lanka's recent fast bowling
allrounders.
