Umar Akmal Profile

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.

As explosive starts to one’s International careers go, few can rival Umar Akmal. He announced his entry with scores of 66 and 102* within his first 3 ODI innings (at Sri Lanka, 2009) in addition to a 129 and 75 on Test debut (at New Zealand, 2009). Those performances weren’t a surprise. At first class level, Akmal was renowned for his big scores amassed in quick time. 7 years prior to his debut, Umar’s elder brother Kamran had already gotten his taste of international cricket. By 2010, the siblings featured regularly, in tandem for Pakistan.

As a fearless, middle-order batsman, throughout Pakistan’s disappointing spree of series losses against Sri Lanka in 2009 and later at Australia in early 2010, Umar Akmal’s ascendance was one of their few positives. But as the series in Australia progressed, complacency began to creep into Akmal’s Test form, which started to dip. In ODIs though, a hundred and five fifties by his 18th outing maintained a steady average. It was enough to justify an inclusion in Pakistan’s 2010 T20 World Cup squad. He finished the tournament as Pakistan’s 3rd highest-run getter towards their semi-final run.

While still protected as a batsman, featuring at 3-down, in a Pakistan side that lacks specialist batsmen with the temperament for all forms of the game, Umar Akmal is their most proven rookie to fill the void for the years to come.

Umar Akmal carried on from where he left off at Lord's by scoring a century on the opening day of Pakistan's first-class three-day tour match against Kent on Monday.

Akmal made 153 out of a total of 360 all out just a day after top-scoring with 51 in Pakistan's tour-opening six-run Twenty20 win over MCC at Lord's.

His innings against Kent was much needed by the tourists as Pakistan slumped to 53 for three with hard-hitting captain Shahid Afridi out for a duck.

Kent's seamers made the ball nip around and the Pakistan top three were dismissed inside the first hour, all lbw, with Umar Amin, Fawad Alam and Salman Butt falling cheaply.

And before lunch Kent triallist Mark Lawson had Shoaib Malik caught at backward point.

All-rounder Alex Blake struck twice after the interval, having Kamran Akmal caught in the gully before Afridi sliced to deep backward point.

Akmal held firm and went to his fifty with a six off Lawson but largely kept himself in check on his way to completing a 150-ball hundred.

However, once he reached the landmark, he opened up and hit four more sixes, three off Lawson before he was stumped off the spinner by Paul Dixey.

Lawson finished with four for 93 on his Kent debut and, in the day's remaining over, the hosts reached two without loss.

Pakistan will play Australia in two Twenty20 internationals on July 5 and 6 at Edgbaston before playing two Tests against the same opponents at Lord's and Headingley.

After playing Australia, Pakistan will feature in four Tests, two Twenty20 and five one-day games against England. The tour ends on September 22.

The less aggressive, but the most successful and said the pace of Product Pakistan in recent years, Umar Gul, Pakistan, the final assembly line, the pace bowling talent. He was only nine games of the first class, asked if called national duty because of the poor in Pakistan World Championship in 2003. There are even traces of Sharjah, Gul are very well maintained excellent discipline and significant lateral displacement of the new ball.

Not free, but bowls a heavy ball very quickly, and exceptional control measures, and the ability to extract the movement of funds from the seam. Moreover, this area is possible to complete recovery in most areas, the nature and duration of the back, is very useful. His first important moment in his career in the Lahore Test against India, 2003-04. Undaunted is a daunting batting line-up, Gul devastated by Indian top order, moving the ball in both directions from the fast pace of fashion. 31st May in their first innings gave Pakistan the early initiative when he went home to win the race.

Unfortunately, this is his last cricket for over a year, elected three stress fractures in his back immediately after the test. The damage would have ended many of his international career, but Gul returned, fitter and sharper than it was in late 2005. He returned to Pakistan in India ODI Series T in the country in February 2006 and in Sri Lanka was still evidence of rehabilitation, are resistant to these two tests, but it was actually the second half of 2006, which is full of age. Leading the attack on England and the West Indies players of Pakistan was the main victim, finishing much better bowler Gul of Pakistan.

After Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif is distracted, the cutting edge Pakistani Gul and one of the best players in the world was fast. She is intelligent and good, both for success in all three forms of 2009 and it turned out that he has established a counter window and ODIs, the evidence is not dead (also a career spanning more than six stops on the tour to Sri Lanka) and the world's best Twenty20 player who can come after the first, and burning at the request of York.

He suggested that as the first recipient of the window years World Twenty20 2007, after two years, has impressed wherever he went and Kolkata Knight Riders IPL Twenty20 tournament and mainland Australia. The confirmation came on the bigger picture: Australia poleaxed T20i with Dubai is 4.8, which is the best wicket-thrower and the receiver of Pakistan had won the Twenty20 World War II in England. The highlight was a 5-6 against New Zealand, the quality of bowling exposure York. Is not a form of a horse, however, and is an integral part of the attack on all forms Pakistan.

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.

Another century followed in the Youth Test against Bangladesh, and he carried that form into the triangular tournament in Sri Lanka in 2008, which Pakistan won. He made it to the Pakistan Test squad for the home series against Sri Lanka the following year despite not being in the probables. A century in the tour game against the visitors changed his fortunes. He returned to the Under-19 circuit to represent Pakistan in the World Cup in New Zealand.
