Irfan Pathan Background

Pathan was born 27 October 1984 in Baroda, Gujarat, India and is of Pashtun (Pathan) ancestry, belonging to the Pathan community in Gujarat. He grew up with his elder brother Yusuf in a mosque in Vadodara, in an impoverished family. His father served as the muezzin (a man who calls Muslims to prayer from the minaret of a mosque).

Irfan’s family includes father Mahmud Khan Pathan, mother Sameembanu Pathan and a brother who is well known Yusuf Pathan and a younger sister named Shagufta Pathan.

Although their parents wished them to become Islamic scholars, Pathan and his brother took an interest in cricket. Their games on the grounds off and inside the mosque often necessitated apologies from their father to Muslim worshippers who visited it. In the beginning his deliveries did not reach the other end of the cricket pitch, but rigorous six-hour training sessions in blazing heat and his family’s sense of discipline saw him progress steadily.
