About Me
Hi, I'm Faisal Khokhar, a sports management professional, event operations manager, media manager, journalist and digital content producer whose dedication to sports, specifically cricket transcends beyond mere fandom to professional acclaim.
My professional journey began in 2016, and since then, I've honed my expertise in sports management, journalism, media accreditation management and event operations, covering marquee cricketing events for various esteemed organizations, including the Emirates Cricket Board.
My portfolio of experiences features pivotal roles in prestigious tournaments such as the ICC Men's T20 World Cups (UAE 2021, Australia 2022), Pakistan Super League (PSL), Asia Cups 2018 & 2022, and the dynamic T10 league. These opportunities have not only allowed me to manage comprehensive media operations but also to engage deeply with the sport by reporting from the heart of the action.
My tenure has been marked by successfully navigating the intricacies of event coverage, media relations, and content creation for diverse brands, showcasing the game's spirit to a global audience. Let's connect and explore the synergy between cricket's thrilling encounters and innovative media storytelling.
