Hassan Eisakhil, 18, made waves in the ongoing Shpageeza Cricket League 2025 after striking a six against his father, the renowned all-rounder Mohammad Nabi of Afghanistan. The father and son were playing for different teams in the eighth game between the Amo Sharks and Mis Ainak Knights in Kabul.
His son Eisakhil opened the batting for Amo Sharks while the seasoned cricketer was playing for Mis Ainak Knights. Two overs later, Hassan reached his half-century after sweeping his father for a massive six over midwicket. Mohammad Nabi finished with statistics of 0/12 after giving up 12 runs in the same over and being removed from the assault.

Hassan Eisakhil is who?
Eisakhil, who was born on July 28, 2006, has already drawn notice for his exceptional cricket skills. In 2024, the towering right-handed opening batsman’s first heroic moments occurred in a domestic encounter when he hit a 45-ball 150. He scored a game-winning 52-ball 65 against the Royals while playing for the Chitwan Rhinos in the Nepal Premier League.
Hassan scored centuries in Afghanistan’s premier first-class competition in 2025 and kept up his impressive run totals, which included a 143 in the Merwais Nika 3-Day Trophy. He hit 52 off 36 balls in the current Shpageeza League match against his father’s team, adding two sixes and five fours to his innings.
For Afghanistan, Mohammad Nabi would like to play with his son Hassan Eisakhil.
Mohammad Nabi stated earlier in 2025 that he hoped to play with Hassan for Afghanistan in ODIs. Even though Mohammad Nabi had intended to retire following the 2025 Champions Trophy, he changed his mind.
“These Champions Trophy ODIs may not be my final ones, and I plan to play fewer of them and give the younger players more opportunities to gain experience. In the high-level games, we’ll see. I’ve talked about it with the older players. My level of fitness will determine it. I hope we can fulfil my ambition of playing together for the nation. He works hard, is doing great, and I encourage him to go to work.
I want him to set his own objectives because becoming a top-tier cricket player requires hard work. Making 50 or 60 is insufficient; you need to score 100 or higher. He is constantly listening and pushing. Nabi was cited on ICC as saying, “I try to give him advice to give him confidence for the game when he can talk to me.”
