He is a right-handed batsman who has been regarded as of the greatest batsmen of his period. He rose to fame in the semi-final of the 1992 world cup, in which he scored 60 of 37 balls against a potent Kiwi side On five October 2007, Inzamam retired from International cricket following the second Check match against South Africa, falling runs short of Javed Miandad as Pakistan's leading run scorer in Check cricket. Following his retirement, he joined the Indian Cricket League, captaining the Hyderabad Heroes in the inaugural edition of the Twenty20 competition. In the ICL's second edition, he captained the Lahore Badshahs, a team composed entirely of Pakistani cricketers. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;"><strong> </strong></span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;"><strong>Profile </strong></span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;">Inzamam-ul-Haq is a symbiosis of strength & subtlety. Power is no surprise, but sublime touch is outstanding for a man of his bulk. He loathes exercise & often looks a passenger in the field, but with a willow between his palms he is suddenly galvanized. He plays shots all round the wicket, is strong off his legs, & unleashes ferocious pulls & lofted drives. Imran Khan rates him the best batsman in the world against pace. Early on he is vulnerable playing across his front pad or groping outside off stump. He makes use of his feet well to the spinners, although this aggression can be his undoing. Inzi keeps a cold head in a crisis & has succeeded Javed Miandad as Pakistan's premier batsman, but his unlucky jogging between wickets is legendary & most hazardous for his partners. There were no such issues against New Zealand at a boiling Lahore in 2001-02, when Inzamam belted 329, the second-highest Check score by a Pakistani & the tenth-highest by anyone. However, he was then dogged by poor form, scoring 16 runs in Pakistan's ill-fated World Cup campaign in 2003. He was dropped from the team briefly, but then roared back to form, scoring a magnificent unbeaten 138 & guiding Pakistan to an exhilarating one-wicket win against Bangladesh at Multan. He was rewarded with the captaincy of the team, & despite leading them to victory in the Check series in New Zealand, question-marks about his leadership qualities surfaced when Pakistan were beaten in both the Check series & the one-dayers against India. But the selectors persevered with him & this bore results when he took a team narrow on bowling resources to India & drew the Check series with a rousing performance in the final Check, Inzamam's 100th. After scoring a magnificent 184, Inzamam led the team astutely on a tense final day & took Pakistan to victory. Since that day, Inzamam has gone from strength to strength as captain & premier batsman. By scoring a hundred against West Indies in June 2005, he kept up a outstanding record of match winning centuries, among the best of modern-day batsmen. A magnificent year ended with Inzamam leading his team to overcome Ashes-winning England; personally the series was arguably his best ever. He seldom failed to make a fifty, scored twin centuries at Faisalabad for the first time, going past Miandad as Pakistan's leading century-maker & joining him as only the second Pakistani with 8000 Check runs. As captain, he seldom looked more a leader, uniting a young, inexperienced team & turning them, one time again, in to a force to matter globally. The turn of the year brought contemplation; he missed the Check victory over India at Karachi with a persistent back injury. The later ODI thrashing also raised concerns about Inzamam as ODI captain, none of which were entirely wiped away in the work of ODI & Check wins in Sri Lanka. Pakistan were then beaten comprehensively in the Check series in England though all was forgotten - including Inzamam's own poor form - by events at The Oval. There, Inzamam, astonishingly for a man perceived as so insouciant, became the most controversial figure in cricket for a week, leading his side off the field in protest at charges of ball tampering made by umpires Billy Doc-trove and Darrell Hair. They refused to come out at first, then delayed the beginning before finally forfeiting the Check, the first time in the history of the game. In Pakistan, they became a national hero, Savior of a country's pride and Honor. Though nobody is saying it yet, the World Cup 2007 is likely to be his last act.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;"></span></div></div>

His star status was sealed by a great flop of hair, a talent for show-boating and a vivid nickname - the Rawalpindi Express. But it was much, young. A immense ego and his blind ambition to break the 100mph barrier appeared to matter more to him than cementing his place in the Pakistan side. The authorities two times sidelined him over throwing allegations and although his action was cleared, courtesy of hyperextensible joints and the University of Western Australia, injuries created fresh doubts over his international future. However, they channelled his immense resources much better in 2002, turning in of the most blistering bowling efforts of the year, both against Australia. First, they blitzed them with a spell of five for 25 in a one-dayer at Brisbane, and then returned five for 21 in a spectacular performance in Colombo that all but won the Check. The 2003 World Cup was far more disappointing, though. They promised much, but came a cropper, in the needle encounter against Sachin Tendulkar. Dropped after the World Cup, Shoaib roared back to form on the tour to New Zealand, but soon after came a forgettable - and controversial - series against India. Not only did they struggle for wickets, they also left the field at an important stage of the third Check citing wrist injury and back pain, though neither injury appeared to bother him when they came out to bat. Shoaib felt the heat, as his dedication and his relationship with the captain and the team management came in to query as well. The series began a period in which Shoaib's career came under its gravest threat. Mutterings about his dedication were never far away and a difficult relationship with Inzamam and Bob Woolmer the coach didn't make matters simpler. They blew hot and chilled in Australia, looking Pakistan's most incisive threat for periods but also looking their most disinterested at others. A hamstring injury cut short that tour and a potpourri of fitness, dedication and attitudinal complaints meant they missed most of Pakistan's cricket in 2005. But, inevitably perhaps, they came back against England, finishing with 17 wickets and proving the difference between the sides. As well as being at the peak of his powers - a concotion of deadly slower balls, yorkers and bouncers - Shoaib looked a team man to the core. Usually since then they has spent much time on the sidelines, missing tours to Sri Lanka and most of England with a mix of ankle and knee injuries. They returned to play the ODI series against England and appeared back in full flow, before again missing the last match with an injury. His rehabilitation at the finish of 2005 might become, in time, of the most significant moments in Pakistan's history. Equally, it might not which tells you all you require to know about the Rawalpindi Express.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ71pm7XE0YjRKU1iTXuLy11vPGumjOnAIFeuNk83sah-fWRYRVdXutXSYt6IN0inGacXhAWRKe1RGlqKAwcvrdD2Ec78sRbhDBpld2SVMieTk-HAfmJ9PqVPn3GBka0_VN2sXB1Hxp80/s1600/sh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ71pm7XE0YjRKU1iTXuLy11vPGumjOnAIFeuNk83sah-fWRYRVdXutXSYt6IN0inGacXhAWRKe1RGlqKAwcvrdD2Ec78sRbhDBpld2SVMieTk-HAfmJ9PqVPn3GBka0_VN2sXB1Hxp80/s320/sh.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJUX-EM2NdkFevKkTjAJPmETMq2SIBVxjIHD_loN576Q9_2F_chiE2PeBfgzps9GH60uYsEx5Rd-FuYpVWkdPpgQLbV1_PsIU_CTHYDuE_tHVwiUx8h99ANIPXn0SFsSY34HBOm_nq1tw/s1600/wp_Janubaba_ShahrukhKhanwithShoaibAkhtarbycoolman_2008161426GKZNAE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJUX-EM2NdkFevKkTjAJPmETMq2SIBVxjIHD_loN576Q9_2F_chiE2PeBfgzps9GH60uYsEx5Rd-FuYpVWkdPpgQLbV1_PsIU_CTHYDuE_tHVwiUx8h99ANIPXn0SFsSY34HBOm_nq1tw/s320/wp_ShahrukhKhanwithShoaibAkhtar2008161426GKZNAE.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></div></div><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;"><strong>Career statistics</strong></span><br /> He set an official world record by achieving the quickest delivery, when they clocked in at 161.3 km/h (100.2 mph) in his bowling speed, two times at a cricket match against England.[1] His ability to bowl quick yorkers and speedy bouncers have made him of the best quick bowlers in cricket.<br /> <br /> However, they has been involved in several controversies in the work of his career, often accused of not being a team player.

A flamboyant allrounder introduced to international cricket as a 16-year-old legspinner, they surprised everyone but himself by pinch-hitting the quickest one-day hundred in his maiden innings. Afridi is a compulsive shot-maker and although until 2004 it was often his undoing, causing him to float in and out of the team, a mix of maturity on and off the field and a sympathetic coach in Bob Woolmer, has seen Afridi blossom in to of modern-day cricket's most risky players and a vital cog in Pakistan's revival in 2005. A string of incisive contributions from June 2004 culminated in a violent century against India in Kanpur in April 2005; remarkably it was the joint second quickest ODI century in terms of balls faced. A few weeks before, by smashing the joint second quickest Check half-century at Bangalore and taking crucial last day wickets, Afridi had helped Pakistan memorably level the Check series. So his year continued; a Check century against the West Indies and contributions against England at the finish of the year. They went berserk against India on the flattest of pitches with centuries, including a Check best 156 in January 2006. An Afridi virtuoso is laced with fearless lofted drives and short-arm jabs over midwicket. They is at his best when forcing straight and at his weakest pushing at the ball outside off. The largest improvement has been in Afridi's legspin; historicallyin the past underrated, they are now integral in the ODI side and curiously effective at key moments in Tests. When the conditions are with him, they gets turn as well as some lazy drift, but his box of tricks is the key, boasting a vicious faster ball and a standard off-spinner as well. His allround skills are completed by agile fielding and among the strongest arms in the game; they also possesses the firmest handshake in international cricket. Again they shocked everyone but himself when, after finally becoming a fixture in the Pakistan side, and a thrillingly bombastic at that, they announced a temporary 'retirement' from Check cricket, citing an increasingly heavy playing schedule. To less surprise, they retracted his retirement weeks later. Since then they has been dropped again from the Check team in England and his place in the ODI side has been in flux. They remains, though, an original and a risky at that. </span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"> <br /> </span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><strong>Career statistics</strong></span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Shahid Afridi</b> Between 1996 and 2011, Afridi played 27 Tests, 325 Day Internationals, and 43 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) for the Pakistani national team. They made his ODI debut on two October 1996 against Kenya and his Check debut on 22 October 1998 against Australia.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;">They is known for his aggressive batting style, and holds the record for the quickest ODI century which they made in his first international innings, as well as scoring 32 runs in a single over, the second highest scoring over ever in an ODI.[3] They also holds the distinction of having hit the most number of sixes in the history of ODI cricket.[4] Afridi considers himself a better bowler than batsman, and has taken 48 Check wickets and over 300 in ODIs. Currently Afridi is the leading wicket taker in the Twenty20 format taking 53 wickets from 43 matches.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;">In June 2009, Afridi took over the Twenty20 captaincy from Younus Khan, and was later appointed ODI captain for the 2010 Asia Cup. In his first match as ODI captain against Sri Lanka they scored a century however Pakistan still lost by 16 runs. They then also took over the Check captaincy but resigned after match in charge citing lack of form and ability to play Check cricket; simultaneously they announced his retirement from Tests. They retained the captaincy in limited-overs type of the game and led the team in the 2011 World Cup. In May 2011, having led Pakistan in 34 ODIs Afridi was replaced as captain. Later that month they announced his conditional retirement from international cricket in protest against his treatment by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). </span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;"><br /> </span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;">Author  Saifullah Soomro<br /> </span></div></div></div>
