Mansoor Amjad

Mansoor Amjad's leg-spin was at one stage the next big thing in Pakistan cricket. He was a vital member of the 2004 U-19 team that won the World Cup in Bangladesh. Former Pakistan coach, the late Bob Woolmer, rated him highly, and that faith was justified when he took five wickets against an England XI at Lahore in 2005-06. Since then, on the fringes of national selection, Amjad has turned into an all-rounder of sorts, particularly suited to the limited overs game. He averages nearly 30 and has four first-class hundreds. On his international debut, in a T20I against Bangladesh in April 2008, he took 3-3 in his only over. He was finally rewarded with an ODI debut in June in the Asia Cup.
