An opening batsman and
a handy offspin bowler, Hafeez was one of the young players that the
Pakistan selectors turned to after the team's abysmal display in the 2003
World Cup. His performances in Sharjah and in the NatWest Challenge in
England indicated that Hafeez could well be a long-term prospect - he showed
good technique and temperament at the top of the order and bowled his
offspinners tidily, but most impressive was his performance in the field.
Patrolling the point and covers region with feverish alertness, he saved
plenty of runs and pulled off an amazing catch. His organised approach
towards batting ensured that he got an opportunity in the Test team in the
three-Test series against Bangladesh. He didn't do badly either, scoring a
half-century on debut, and then stroking his first hundred in his second
Test. However, his form then dipped alarmingly in the ODIs against South
Africa, leading to his exclusion from the Test squad. Soon after he was
dropped from the ODI squad as well. He has remained on the fringes of the
national squad however with a string of impressive domestic performances,
coupled with useful hands for the Pakistan A squad. He was called back to
the ODI side in 2005 but failed to achieve any significant results. A
spanking century for Pakistan A against Australia A in the Top End Series in
Australia during the summer of 2006, allied with the exacerbtion of
Pakistan's opening problems on the tour to England, meant that Hafeez
returned for the Oval Test annd amidst all debris, his calm and signficant
95 was all but forgotten. He has been adequate rather than spectacular
though given the problems Pakistan have with openers and that a World Cup is
on the horizon, Hafeez is likely to remain involved for some time.
