This cricketer went to see T20 game with girlfriend but destiny made him play his debut match the same day!

This was one of the strangest and weirdest debut in the history of cricket. Luke Pomersbach an Australian cricketer made his international debut against New Zealand on December 11, 2007. Pomersbach was suspended by his state team Western Australia and had turned up with his girlfriend to watch a match between Australia vs New Zealand when he got a call from the team manager to play the match. Pomersbach was asked to replace Brad Hodge, who injured his back.

Pomersbach was suspended from the state side along with another Australian player Shaun Marsh for drinking alcohol following a game against Queensland. But when Pomersbach made his unusual debut for Australia he performed well and made 15 runs off 7 balls. He was also awarded Bradman Young Player of the Year in 2008. Pomersbach was listed with the Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League.
