Two elbows in one arm: Usman Tariq on journey from car-parts firm to T20 Blast

Usman Tariq, a 30-year-old Pakistan mystery spinner, has signed for Warwickshire in the T20 Blast and Birmingham Phoenix in the Hundred for his first appearances in English cricket. Tariq had an unconventional path to professional cricket, spending his early 20s working for a car-parts company in Dubai before being inspired by a biopic of MS Dhoni to pursue his cricketing career. He welcomes scrutiny of his bowling action as he prepares to make his mark in England.
