Another of Pakistan's
prodigiously gifted players, but the suspicion was that Imran Nazir offers
more genuine promise than most. An opener who is particularly strong off the
back foot, he loves forcing through the covers. An aggressive approach has
had him labelled as a one-day player, but Imran didn't fare badly in his
first few Tests. Eventually, however, his technique and lack of footwork was
found out rather cruelly by Glenn McGrath and Co in two Tests against
Australia. Imran was then upstaged by the likes of Mohammad Hafeez, Yasir
Hameed, Imran Farhat and Taufeeq Umar, but a series of consistent domestic
performances saw him recalled to the national squad against South Africa in
2006-07. A typically explosive 39-ball 57 saw him get selected for the 2007
World Cup squad though three failures in that series took the gloss off a
touch. He is one of the best fielders in Pakistan, though, and is supposed
to be the first Pakistani to cartwheel (while intercepting a square cut). |
