Umar Akmal


The runs didn't cease to flow for Umar Akmal, the younger brother of Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran and Adnan, in his maiden first-class season. In a triumphant 2007-08 for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited, Umar failed to score in his first outing but then went on to amass 855 runs from nine matches in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, at an average of 77.72 and an impressive strike-rate of 90.18. He showed a penchant for both brisk and big scoring, with knocks of 248 off 225 balls and 186 off 170. In January 2008, he was picked in Pakistan's Under-19 team for the World Cup in Malaysia. He was the leading run-getter - with 255 runs at a strike-rate of 123.18 - in a tri-nation tournament involving England and Sri Lanka in the lead-up to the World Cup. A successful tour of Australia with Pakistan A was followed up a maiden international call-up for the ODIs in Sri Lanka, and Umar started off with a half-century in his second game and a power-packed hundred in his third. A Test call-up was inevitable and he gave an optimistic glimpse into the future of Pakistan cricket, with a century on debut, under pressure followed by a string of consistent scores in New Zealand.

Abdul Razzaq Biography

Full name Abdul Razzaq

Born December 2, 1979, Lahore, Punjab

Current age 31 years 41 days

Major teams Pakistan, Asia XI, Hampshire, Hampshire 2nd XI, Hyderabad Heroes, ICL Pakistan XI, Khan Research Labs, Lahore, Lahore Lions, Middlesex, Pakistan International Airlines, Surrey, Worcestershire

Also known as Abdur Razzaq

Batting style Right-hand bat

Bowling style Right-arm fast-medium

Profile:

Abdul Razzaq was once rapid enough to open the bowling and remains composed enough to bat anywhere, though he is discovering that the lower-order suits him nicely. His bowling – the reason he was first noticed – is characterised by a galloping approach, accuracy, and reverse-swing. But it is his batting that is more likely to win matches. He boasts a prodigious array of strokes and is particularly strong driving through cover and mid-off off both front and back foot. He has two gears: block or blast. Cut off the big shots and Razzaq gets bogged down, although patience is his virtue as he demonstrated in a match-saving fifty against India in Mohali in 2005. Just prior to that he had also played a bewilderingly slow innings in Australia, scoring four runs in over two hours. When the occasion demands it though, as ODIs often do, he can still slog with the best of them: England were pillaged for a 22-ball 51 at the end of 2005. and then again for nearly 60 runs in the last three overs of an ODI in September the following year.

Saqlain Mushtaq Biography
A tendency-setter. Saqlain Mushtaq was possibly the first offspinner to master the doosra, a liberation that spins away from the batsman still although it is delivered with an offspinner’s achievement. Saqlain has a swift, petite-stepping stroke with a hesitant delivery, and has a inclination to bowl no-balls, uncommonly for a bowler with such a petite run. He is criticised for endeavoring too much difference and he frequently flings in the doosra the first time a batsman faces. Saqlain’s international profession got off to a impressive start – he was the fastest bowler to 100 one-day wickets, and his out of the ordinary deal with meant that he frequently bowled at the death. But his premium moment perhaps came in a Test match, at Chennai in 1998-99, at what time his ten-for permitted Pakistan to creep nerve-tingling 12-run win in opposition to India.

On the other hand, his stock has fallen a long way since after that, with Shoaib Malik, a improved batsman than Saqlain, appropriating the spinner’s spot in the ODI line-up and Danish Kaneria becoming the vanguard Test spinner. Saqlain did get an chance to have a go at the Indians once more in the 2003-04 series, other than inappropriate figures of 1 for 204 at Multan meant that he was rapidly downgraded to the fragment mound. He was not capable to oblige his way back ahead of Danish Kaneria and he was destroyed by wound later than a productive time with Surrey.

On the other hand, his profession was given a helping hand in 2007 at what time he connected Mushtaq Ahmed at Sussex and there was even talk of him meeting the criteria for England. That could hang about a far-away dream, later than signing a agreement with the unauthorized Indian Cricket League. without a doubt, his ICL agreement compulsory Surrey to severe ties with him later than the 2008 season, ending his 11-year relationship with The Oval.

The preference of Mohammad Hafeez, Yasir Hameed, Imran Farhat and Taufeeq Umar moved him upward level, which enhance his career charm and He became National squad against South Africa in 2006-07 because of the consistency in performances in in-land matches. And he was selected for World Cup 2007 team on his volatile performance 39-ball 57-scores, but his three failure match series won’t polish his performance and become a slight decline of his image in the Pakistani people. Over all his performance made him one of the best fielders in the Pakistan cricket team, so he is considered as to be the 1st Pakistani to flip-flop (while intercepting a square cut).

His career-best performance of 160 adjacent to Zimbabwe in the World Cup retained him for the following such tours to Abu Dhabi and Scotland whereas Imran also is being elected for Pakistani cricket training camps. Then he was selected in Twenty20 World Championship and rewarded by a “Central Contract” in July 2007 before representing Pakistan in the home ODI series in opposition to South Africa.
