Muzamil Sherzad
- ... that after travelling more than 8,300 km (5,200 mi) from Afghanstian to Ireland, Muzamil Sherzad was signed onto a talent programme by Cricket Ireland after seeing an advert on Facebook? Source: Sherzad’s brush with cricket happened two years ago when he saw a Cricket Ireland advertisement about a fast-bowling talent hunt, and quickly signed up through Facebook. source
- ALT1: ... that after travelling more than 8,300 km (5,200 mi) from Afghanstian to Ireland, Muzamil Sherzad was named in Ireland's squad to play in the 2022 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup? Source: Once in Ireland, Sherzad, to his surprise, found that cricket would help him make friends and give him a new identity. And, in a remarkable change of a fortune, he would soon become a World Cupper for his new country. source
- Comment: While I have multiple DYK awards, I don't think I've ever nominated a page before! Eager to learn if this passes the criteria. Thanks

Hey Lugnuts! I'll review this one. The article is: new enough (created May 3), long enough (about 2,100 bytes), well-sourced and neutral. No copyvios. Hooks are interesting and not too long. QPQ done. Looks good to go. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:21, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

- Also, what's the timespan for this kind of thing? Thanks again. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 19:30, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- If you mean how long it will be on the main page, the answer is between 12 and 24 hours, depending on how many hooks have been promoted. If your question is how long it will take until its on there, I'm not exactly sure. Its usually been about 10-25 days between the nom and main page appearance for my DYKs. Hope that answers your question. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:55, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- It was the latter part - so, yes, that answers the question. Thanks again! Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:55, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
