Ali Farooq joined Leicestershire at Under-15 level and progressed to the Foxes Academy at 17, the same age at which he made his Second XI debut. He took his first five-wicket haul for the Second XI in just his second appearance, against Glamorgan.
Farooq was named in England’s squad for the 2026 ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup and made his England Under-19 debut later that year, taking 3 for 29 against South Africa A. He has signed a three-year rookie contract with Leicestershire, running until the end of the 2029 season.
