Profile
Azhar Mahmood is one more name in the list of players from Pakistan who were immensely talented but frittered away over a period of time. Mahmood was bowler who could swing the ball at a healthy pace and a useful middle order batsman with a penchant for attack. He never quite managed to seal a regular spot in the Pakistan team and was a member on and off from 1996. His test career began in fine fashion as well as he scored a century on debut against South Africa. He added two more tons within a year against the same opposition but it was all downhill afterwards as he finished with more hundreds than fifties in his Test career.
His ODI tenure was longer and more productive in comparison. He was a regular member of the side that reached the finals in 1999. He was also a part of the squads for the 2003 and 2007 World Cup but did not have much success. The highlights of his career were the back-to-back five wicket hauls he managed in Sharjah in 1999.
He was also among the many Pakistani players who joined the ICL but quit it soon after and went to England to play county cricket. He soon married a British woman and is now officially a British citizen.
Since the introduction of T20, Mahmood has embraced that format of the game. He has played in almost every League in the world. The teams he has represented include: Auckland Aces, Kings XI Punjab, Barbados Trident, Dhaka Gladiators, Surrey, Barisal Burners to name a few.
