[2] Zaman rose to fame after a success with his century in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, where in the final, he was the man of the match with his innings of 114 runs off 106 balls against India.

[5][6] On 4 April 2021, while chasing against South Africa in the second ODI, Zaman scored 193 before being run out by Quinton de Kock.

[7] Zaman also knocked out Imran Nazir's record by hitting 11 sixes against New Zealand on 4 November 2023, making Pakistan victorious.

[10][11][12] His choice of career was persuaded by his father, who was dissuaded by Fakhar's childhood addiction to cricket and wanted his son to focus on his academics.

[12][14][15] In 2012, he represented the navy in the International Defence Cricket Challenge Cup in Australia and was named best player of the tournament.

In 2013, he left his naval career after a "tough decision" in pursuit of this dream and began appearing for regional outfits like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Abbottabad Falcons, Balochistan and several Karachi teams.

He was soon noticed by Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur during a training camp in Lahore, following which he earned a call-up for the national side.

[19] In July 2019, he was selected to play for the Rotterdam Rhinos in the inaugural edition of the Euro T20 Slam cricket tournament.

[25] Zaman was picked by the Lahore Qalandars side for the 2017 Pakistan Super League, where he was closely mentored by New Zealand player Brendon McCullum.

[27] In his first three seasons, he experienced consistent setbacks as Lahore ended at the bottom of the league table each time, failing to qualify for the knockouts.

[29] His performance played a crucial role in Qalandar's journey to the finals, although they ultimately lost to Karachi Kings.

[39] He made his ODI debut for Pakistan against South Africa in the Champions Trophy on 7 June 2017, scoring 31 runs.

[40][41] In the final against India, Zaman edged to the wicket-keeper, when he was on 3, but survived as it was a no-ball, bowled by Jasprit Bumrah and that was the biggest turning point in that match.

[43] India batting second collapsed and Pakistan won the match by 180 runs to become the winners of Champions Trophy for the first time.

[46] On 8 July 2018, Fakhar scored 91 runs against Australia in the tri-series final in Harare to help Pakistan secure the title.

[70] In September 2021, he was named as one of three travelling reserve players in Pakistan's squad for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

[72] In the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022, Zaman was ruled out of the event after he suffered a knee injury when playing against the Netherlands.

Fakhar Zaman launched his First Men's grooming Brand FZ39 BEAUTY on 27th February, 2024 at PC Hotel Lahore.

[79] Family members, Lahore qalander's teammates and friends of him attend the launching event and honored by new products.
