Leader
• A person or thing that leads

• A guiding or directing head, as of an army, movement, or political group.
Leaders shapes the output, focus on group products, encourages new ideas, stimulate right things, think
of involvement program, empower others to make decisions.
Leadership Definition: Peter Drucker: The forward to the Drucker Foundation's "The Leader of the
Future" sums up leadership: "The only definition of a leader is someone who has followers." To gain
followers requires influence but doesn't exclude the lack of integrity in achieving this. Indeed, it can be
argued that several of the world's greatest leaders have lacked integrity and have adopted values that
would not be shared by many people today.

Profile
Inzamam-ul-Haq is a symbiosis of strength and subtlety. Power is no surprise, but
sublime touch is remarkable for a man of his bulk. He loathes exercise and often looks a
passenger in the field, but with a willow between his palms he is suddenly galvanized. He
plays shots all round the wicket, is especially strong off his legs, and unleashes ferocious

pulls and lofted drives. Imran Khan rates him the best batsman in the world against pace.
Early on he is vulnerable playing across his front pad or groping outside off stump. He
uses his feet well to the spinners, although this aggression can be his undoing. Inzy keeps
a cool head in a crisis and has succeeded Javed Miandad as Pakistan's premier batsman,
but his hapless running between wickets is legendary and most dangerous for his
partners. There were no such problems against New Zealand at a boiling Lahore in 2001-
02, when Inzamam belted 329, the second-highest Test score by a Pakistani and the tenth-
highest by anyone. However, he was then dogged by poor form, scoring just 16 runs in
Pakistan's ill-fated World Cup campaign in 2003. He was dropped from the team briefly,
but then roared back to form, scoring a magnificent unbeaten 138 and guiding Pakistan to
a thrilling one-wicket win against Bangladesh at Multan. He was rewarded with the
captaincy of the team, and despite leading them to victory in the Test series in New
Zealand, question-marks about his leadership qualities surfaced when Pakistan were
beaten in both the Test series and the one-dayers against India. But the selectors
persevered with him and this bore results when he took a team thin on bowling resources
to India and drew the Test series with a rousing performance in the final Test, Inzamam's
100th. After scoring a magnificent 184, Inzamam led the team astutely on a tense final
day and took Pakistan to victory. Since that day, Inzamam has gone from strength to
strength as captain and premier batsman. By scoring a hundred against West Indies in
June 2005, he kept up a remarkable record of match winning centuries, amongst the best
of modern-day batsmen. A magnificent year ended with Inzamam leading his team to
triumph over Ashes-winning England; personally the series was arguably his best ever.
He never failed to make a fifty, scored twin centuries at Faisalabad for the first time,
going past Miandad as Pakistan's leading century-maker and joining him as only the
second Pakistani with 8000 Test runs. As captain, he never looked more a leader, uniting
a young, inexperienced team and turning them, once again, into a force to matter
globally. The turn of the year brought contemplation; he missed the Test victory over
India at Karachi with a persistent back injury. The subsequent ODI thrashing also raised
concerns about Inzamam as ODI captain, none of which were entirely wiped away during
ODI and Test wins in Sri Lanka. Pakistan were then beaten comprehensively in the Test
series in England though all was forgotten - including Inzamam's own poor form - by

events at The Oval. There, Inzamam, astonishingly for a man perceived as so insouciant,
became the most controversial figure in cricket for a week, leading his side off the field
in protest at charges of ball tampering made by umpires Billy Doctrove and Darrell Hair.
They refused to come out at first, and then delayed the start before eventually forfeiting
the Test, the first time in the history of the game. In Pakistan, he became a national hero,
saviour of a country's pride and honour. He was banned for four ODIs and returned to
lead the side to a series-win over West Indies followed by a disappointing Test series in
South Africa, and then quit the one-day game after Pakistan were eliminated from the
World Cup at the first hurdle, an event overshadowed by the death of Bob Woolmer.
Even though he expressed his desire to be part of the Test team, Inzamam was not offered
a central contract in July and, according to a few, might signal the end of his illustrious
international career.
He, however, made that decision himself after signing up for the Indian Cricket League
and faced a life-time ban from PCB. He later quit the ICL and made himself available for
selection. The second Test against South Africa in Lahore was his farewell game. He fell
just two short of Javed Miandad's record for the highest Test aggregate by a Pakistan
batsman and 60 short of a career average of 50.
Inzamam-ul-Haq (born 3 March 1970 in Multan, Punjab Province, Pakistan), also

known as Inzamam, nicknamed Inzy or the Sultan of Multan, is a
former Pakistan international cricketer who was national captain between 2003 and 2007.
He is a right-handed batsman who has been regarded as one of the leading cricketers
from Pakistan in modern times.
On October 5, 2007, Inzamam retired from International cricket following the

second Test match against South Africa, falling three runs short of Javed Miandad as
Pakistan's leading run scorer in Test cricket. Following his retirement, he joined
the Indian Cricket League, captaining the Hyderabad Heroes in the inaugural edition of
the Twenty20 competition. In the ICL's second Twenty20 competition he captained
the Lahore Badshahs, a team composed entirely of Pakistani cricketers.

Career
One Day International Cricket
Inzamam made his One Day International (ODI) debut in a home series against West
Indies in 1991, and made a good start with 20 and 60 in two matches against West Indies,
followed by 48, 60, 101, and 117 against Sri Lanka.
Handpicked by former Pakistan captain Imran Khan for the 1992 Cricket World Cup in
Australia and New Zealand, 22-year-old Inzamam was relatively unheard of before the
tournament. To the surprise of many he was persevered with throughout the tournament,
coming in at various positions in the batting line-up, despite not being very successful
early on. Yet it was his performances at the most crucial stage of the competition that
made fans and summarizers take note. Inzamam rose to fame in Pakistan's dramatic semi-
final against New Zealand at Auckland. With his side in a precarious position, chasing
262, against an impressive New Zealand side, he hit a fiery 60 from only 37 balls to
rescue his side and guide them into the final. The innings was regarded as one of the
finest World Cup performances. A massive six he hit in that match was described
by David Lloyd as the shot of the tournament.
Inzamam made an equally vital contribution in the final of the World Cup, scoring 42 off
just 35 balls, helping Pakistan reach a score of 249 after a sluggish start. These innings
established Inzamam's billing as a big-game player, although he was unable to replicate
his World Cup success in later tournaments. Another World Cup career highlight
included a semi-final innings in the 1992 World Cup.
In total, Inzamam set a record for scoring the most fifties in One Day Internationals, 83 –
though this is now surpassed by Sachin Tendulkar. He also became the second batsman to
score 10,000 runs in One-day Internationals (again after Tendulkar) and was named in the
World Team XI for both Test and One-day Internationals in the 2005 ICC Awards. In his
final ODI for Pakistan, playing Zimbabwe in the 2007 Cricket World Cup, he took three
catches whilst fielding, including the last one of the match, ending his One Day career.

Test Cricket
He got little opportunity to make an impact during his 1992 Test debut against England at
Edgbaston, with a score of eight not out. However, in subsequent matches he
demonstrated vulnerability against swing bowling which resulted in him being dropped
for the final Test after averaging a lowly 13.20 runs per innings. Pakistan went on to
secure a famous win in the match, taking the series 2-1.
After the England series, Inzamam aimed to establish himself in the Test side and he
achieved this successfully, helping the side to many memorable victories. One of
particular note came against Australia in Karachi, 1994. He often batted with the tail and
his 58* helped Pakistan to a one-wicket victory and a 1-0 series win. As well as helping
his side to become the top-ranked side in the world for a brief period he achieved
personal success by becoming the ICC's number one ranked batsmen in 1995. He later
went on to reclaim top spot in the rankings in 1997. He remained amongst the top 20
ranked batsmen up until his retirement. He was the number one batsman in the world
three times as well as the three batsmen several times in his career, the last time being
after his twin fifties at Lords against England in 2006. The tour of England in 1996 was a
particular success for both Inzamam and Pakistan, where Inzamam transformed his
batting against seam bowling, averaging 64, with scores of 148, 70, 65, and 35.
Test career highlights include 329 against New Zealand in Lahore in 2001-02 season, and
the second highest Test score by a Pakistani and the twelfth highest overall. He also
scored a century (184) in his 100th Test, becoming only the fifth player to do so
(after Colin Cowdrey, Alec Stewart, Gordon Greenidge and Javed Miandad; Ricky
Ponting subsequently emulated the feat). Inzamam got a century in each innings of the
second Test match against England in 2005, to become Pakistan's leading centurion with
24 centuries, breaking Javed Miandad's record, and his 25th century in the 2nd Test
against India on 22 January 2006 made him the 10th player to score 25 or more centuries.
He also managed 138* while facing a humiliating defeat against Bangladesh, eventually
saving the Test match and leading his team to victory. He scored a century against the
West Indies in 2005. His 92* against South Africa in late 2006 showed his ability to bat
in a crisis again in a match winning effort. He scored twin half centuries when all

appeared lost to draw the first test in Mohali against India in 2005, and also scored a 184
(in his 100th test match) in the same away series and drew the series. He still holds the
record for most consecutive half centuries against one country with nine in nine innings
against England. This streak started from May 31, 2001 to July 13, 2006. He scored a
century and half century at Lords in 1996. His 118 against Australia in Hobart all but
won the test for Pakistan but Adam Gilchrist's match winning 149 not out was the
difference. His average in matches won is second only to Donald Bradman and Kumar
Sangakara. After announcing his retirement after the second Test against South Africa,
at the stadium where he made his international debut, Inzamam needed 20 runs to
surpass Javed Miandad for the record of most runs for a Pakistani Test cricketer.[ After
falling for 14 in the first innings, he was dismissed for 3 in his final innings by Paul
Harris, out stumped, leaving him three runs shy of the record. He needed only 70 more
career runs for a batting average of 50.
County Cricket
Inzamam made his debut in English county cricket in August 2007 at the age of 37. He
joined Yorkshire County Cricket Club as a replacement for Younus Khan who left to play
for Pakistan in the 2007 ICC World Twenty20. He was disappointing on the whole,
making eight on debut at Scarborough's North Marine Road against Warwickshire before
making nine and seven in his opening Pro40 games.
Indian Cricket League
In 2007, Inzamam joined the unsanctioned Indian Cricket League. In the inaugural
competition, Inzamam captained the Hyderabad Heroes and scored 141 runs in 5
matches. In the 2008 competition in March, Inzamam captained the Lahore Badshahs,
composed entirely of Pakistani cricketers.
The move to the ICL has proved to be a controversial one for Inzamam. The PCB's stance
on players joining unsanctioned leagues has meant that he has been banned from playing
in any domestic competitions in Pakistan or any involvement with the international
team. However, given Inzamam's recent retirement, this is unlikely to affect him.
It is reported that he was paid PK Rs. 10 Crore (US $1,100,000) which was the highest
salary for any player participating in the league along with the likes of Brian Lara

Playing Style
I think Inzamam is as talented as Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar but little does he
realize his true talent
— Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan
Inzamam has been known to be a very destructive batsman in both One Day
Internationals (ODIs) and Test matches. He has the ability to pick the length of a delivery
very early and play very late. His footwork is generally considered to be fast, enabling
him to position himself early for shots. He averaged just fewer than 50 runs per innings in
Tests and nearly 40 runs in ODIs, with a strike rate of 54.03 and 74.23 respectively.
Inzamam is especially strong playing shots off his legs and has been considered to be
amongst the best employers of the pull-shot in world cricket.
His batting style has brought him fans from all over the world. He was called "the best
batsmen in the world against pace" by Imran Khan, because "he seems to have so much
time on his hands before the ball reaches him".
Inzamam does, however, have a reputation for being a poor runner between wickets. He
has the dubious distinction of being run-out the second highest number of times in ODIs
having been run-out 40 times [behind Marvan Atapattu (41 times)].
Captaincy
Captain since Nov. 2003, the World Cup provides the perfect opportunity for Inzamam to
be ranked among the top captains of his country. A fine top line batsman with loads of
experience, Inzamam has generally led the side well despite being saddled with fitness
problems to his main bowlers.
His critics, however, contend he lacks the insight and initiative for one-day cricket and
tends to sit back when the going gets tough on the field.

Inzamam captained Pakistan in 25 Tests, winning eight, drawing eight and losing nine.
Only three players have captained Pakistan in more Test matches, but all have better win-
loss records, and only Imran Khan has a lower win percentage than Inzamam. However,
Inzamam held the captaincy until March 2007, the longest captaincy tenure since 1992
when Imran Khan retired.
Captaincy had a positive effect on Inzamam's batting, often leading by example in

pressure situations, averaging greater as a captain (52) than without (50). In ODI's
Inzamam used to have the highest average as captain and is currently second on that list
behind Ricky Ponting. After early failures in Australia, he took a depleted Pakistan side
to India in 2005 and was important in securing a draw, winning the final test match from
an unlikely position with 184*. He subsequently lead his side to an ODI success against
West Indies (away), England (home) and Sri Lanka (away) as well as Test Series
victories against England (home), India (home), Sri Lanka (away). Inzamam had seemed
to have united the Pakistan side and victories lead them to 2nd place in the ICC Test
Rankings and 3rd place in the ICC ODI Ranking. The latter part of Inzamam's tenure as
Pakistan captain was less successful and the team was embroiled in many controversies
culminating in a disappointingly early exit from the 2007 Cricket World Cup at the hands
of lowly ranked Ireland.
In the 2007 Cricket World Cup, Inzamam captained the Pakistani team to its first loss to
associate ICC member Ireland (on St Patrick's Day). This result and their previous loss to
West Indies, led to them being knocked out of the tournament. A day later he announced
his retirement from One Day International Cricket and resignation as Test captain. The
announcement was made the same day that Bob Woolmer, Pakistan's coach, died in his
hotel room in Kingston, Jamaica. He dedicated his final ODI to Woolmer to whom he
shared a good relationship with for three years and affectionately called 'The Bob'.

Controversies
Controversies have been a normal part in every player’s life because you have so many
things to do in order to be competent in your field, some times you can just ignore it or
sometimes you go for it to compete with others, as it happened to Inzaman.
Toronto incident
In a 1997 Sahara Cup match against India, Inzamam assaulted a member of the crowd,
Shiv Kumar Think, a Canadian-based Indian, who had been comparing Inzamam to
several kinds of potato, on a megaphone. According to eye witnesses a cricket bat was
brought out by the Pakistan team's 12th man, Mushtaq Ahmed, who then waited at the
boundary with the bat. Television replays confirmed those statements. The
Guardian newspaper quoted another eyewitness as saying "If not for the spectators and
security staff curbing him, he would have broken the head of that guy. The guy with the
megaphone was no match for Inzamam and got mauled. Even when Canadian police took
Inzamam back on to the field, he was trying to get back to the stands.
After reviewing footage of the incident Canadian police arrested Inzamam and charged
him with two counts of assault and one of assault with a deadly weapon. He was released
on bail of $3,000. Two days after Inzamam was charged, the Pakistan team lodged a
formal complaint, to the 32nd Division of the Metropolitan police in Toronto against
Thind, claiming that Thind had thrown his megaphone at Inzamam. Both Inzamam and
Thind eventually dropped the charges against the other. Match referee Jackie Hendriks,
banned him for two ODIs with a suspended ban of one further game.
Oval Test Incident
On Pakistan’s 2006 tour of England, Inzamam captained a team that refused to re-enter
the field, after tea, on 20 August 2006 at The Oval after allegations of ball
tampering from umpires Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove. The umpires awarded England
five penalty runs and the choice of a replacement ball, after ruling that Pakistan had
illegally altered the ball.

Inzamam and his team staged a protest at the decision. During the protest the umpires,
having tried to persuade Inzamam to come out of the dressing room, decided that the
match could not continue. Upon returning to the field with his team, only to find both the
England team and the umpires absent, Inzamam was informed of this situation. After
further discussions between both teams, umpires and cricket board officials it was
eventually agreed that the match could not be restarted. Thus, Inzamam became the first
captain in history to forfeit a Test match. Inzamam was later charged with tampering with
the ball and bringing the game into disrepute (the latter charge associated with the teatime
protest), although he strenuously denied the charges. On September 28, 2006 the
allegations of ball-tampering were dismissed, however he was found guilty of bringing
cricket into disrepute and given a four match One-Day International ban with immediate
effect.
The Pakistan Cricket Board later blamed Inzamam for the Oval Test forfeiture; adding
that the forfeited match had made the board susceptible to a claim of £800,000 by
the ECB as compensation. However, later on, the result of the Oval Test was changed by
the ICC and called a draw. This was yet again overturned after the MCC stated the ICC
could not do this and was changed to an England win.
Inzamam's disciplinary record is as follows:

1. Vs India at Toronto, September 14, 1997 - assaulted a spectator. Banned
for two one-day internationals, suspended ban of one further match.
2. Vs South Africa at Newlands, April 23, 1998 - dissent at umpire's
decision. Fined 50 percent of match fee, with a suspended ban of one limited
overs match.
3. Vs Sri Lanka - March 12–16, 2000 at Karachi - criticizing the attitude of
the Sri Lankan players. Received severe reprimand.
4. Vs West Indies - May 25–29, 2000 in Antigua, West Indies - dissent over
umpiring decision. Fined 50 percent of match fee.
5. Vs England - June 23, 2001 at Lord's - showing dissent at the umpire's
decision. Fined 50 percent of match fee and suspended for two one-day
internationals.

6. Vs India, March 16, 2004 at Rawalpindi - conduct contrary to the spirit of
the game. Fined 50 percent of match fee.
7. vs West Indies - February 1, 2005 at Perth - for not controlling his players
as captain. Fined 100 percent of match fee.
8. v India - March 24–28, 2005 at Bangalore - showing dissent at an umpire's
decision by action or verbal abuse. Fined 30.5 percent of match fee.
9. v India - March 24–28, 2005 at Bangalore - charging or advancing
towards the umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing. Banned for one
Test match.
10. v India - April 5, 2005 at Visakhapatnam - abuse of cricket equipment or
clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings. Reprimanded.
11. v England - August 17–21, 2006 at the Oval - bringing the game into
disrepute. Banned for four ODIs.
12. v Ireland - March 17, 2007 at Jamaica - failure to ensure that his team met
the minimum over rate requirements. Fined 50% of match fee.
Cricket and Ethics

One of the pleasures of cricket is how closely the game mirrors life. Take any situationin
the real world and chances are that with a bit of mental effort and the indispensable pinch
of salt, you will be able to find a cricket analogy that fits.
Cricket has lot to teach us. It has everything that life has conflict and competition,
cooperation and partnership. Honor and dignity, humiliation and failure. There is drama,
passion, pain, pathos and tragedy. Interestingly, being the most human of game, cricket
also has its share of deceit and dishonesty. This is the most compelling aspect that makes
cricket so life-like.
Cricket and ethics are so closely allied that the game has entered common parlance as a
metaphor for morality. It’s not cricket, goes the well known idiom, meaning it’s not right
or proper. Yet cricket and ethics have not been getting along lately. On Sunday August
20, 2006, during a test match against England at the Oval, umpire Darrell Hair accused
the Pakistan team of cheating. He asked to see the ball during play and made a judgment

that its condition had been unfairly changed to assist the Pakistan bowlers. Subsequent
events have been widely covered in the media. Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq,
seething from humiliation, reacted with his own judgment. Enough was enough; he
decided and refused to play the match any further. In effect, Inzamam said it’s not cricket
and many agreed with him.
Inzamam-ul-Haq is perceived as a good captain by a majority of

Pakistanis: Gallup Survey
A majority of the Pakistani population thinks Inzamam-ul-Haq makes a good captain
while most rate Younis Khan to be an average one. These findings have emerged from
the latest survey on Sports, conducted by Gallup Pakistan. Two separate questions
inquired how the respondents evaluate Inzamam-ul-Haq and Younis Khan as the
Pakistani Cricket team’s Captain. Almost two-thirds of those interviewed (61%) rated
Inzamam to be a good captain as opposed to only 13% who think Younis Khan is good at
captaincy. Another 31% thinks that Inzamam is an average captain, while a negligible
number (6%) say he is a bad one and 2% do not know or have no opinion. In the opinion
of a majority of the respondents (54%), Younis Khan proves to be an average captain,
whereas almost one-third (30%) thinks he is bad and 3% either have no opinion or did not
know. The survey was conducted by Gallup Pakistan, affiliated with Gallup International,
and was based on a sample of over 1200 respondents in the urban and rural areas of all
four provinces across Pakistan. This sample was statistically selected to cover all age
groups, income and educational levels. The error margin in this kind of survey is
estimated to be +5% at a 95% confidence level.
The International Cricket Council and HIV and AIDS
Recognizing the impact that HIV and AIDS is on having on young cricketers in cricket
playing countries, in September 2003, the International Cricket Council (ICC) entered
into a partnership with the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)

under the slogan ‘Run Out AIDS’. The aim of the partnership is to use cricket to raise
public awareness of HIV and AIDS in the cricket-playing world.
Since September 2003, the ICC has implemented numerous awareness-raising initiatives
at the global level to drive the level of understanding and education about HIV and AIDS.
At a national level, all of the ICC’s Full Member countries have appointed HIV/AIDS
Awareness Coordinators to work closely with UNAIDS officials in their countries to
implement initiatives.
A first highlight of the ICC/UNAIDS alliance was the activities that took place to mark
World AIDS Day on 1 December 2003. Players from the six international cricket teams
that played on or around this date ― England, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, West
Indies and Zimbabwe ― wore red ribbons during the game as a sign of support for
people living with HIV around the world. Many players sent positive feedback to the ICC
about the initiative.
“The England team were only too pleased to support the ICC’s partnership with
UNAIDS as we are all aware of what a problem the epidemic is around the world,” said
England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff.
“AIDS is a disease that can affect any type of person in any country and I’m glad to have
been able to lend my support to this important cause on World AIDS Day,” added New
Zealand spinner Daniel Vettori.
From February to March 2004, at the ICC under 19s Cricket World Cup held in
Bangladesh, players in all televised matches wore red ribbons. During the semi-finals, the
electronic scoreboard showed the number of AIDS-related deaths since the start of the
match.
In April 2004, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan sent a personal message to the Indian
and Pakistan teams during their historic Test Match in Rawalpindi, congratulating them
on their contribution to the fight against HIV and AIDS by wearing red ribbons as a show
of support for people living with HIV or AIDS:

“As role models you can encourage young people to protect themselves from HIV and
your leaders to pay more attention to the epidemic. AIDS is a common enemy that both
India and Pakistan have to fight together.”
On the occasion of World AIDS Day 2004, the captains of test-playing nations jointly
issued a statement in support of the fight against HIV and AIDS and united to make the
Captain’s Pledge.
The Captains’ Pledge

“HIV and AIDS is a global issue that cannot be ignored.
“There are over 40 million people around the world living with HIV and AIDS. Over a
third of these live in the ten countries that play Test match cricket.
“HIV and AIDS is everyone’s problem and it is the responsibility of us all to do
something about it.
“Our commitment is to address this epidemic by raising awareness and education levels
in the cricket community.
“We urge young people to protect themselves from HIV and our leaders to pay more
attention to the epidemic.
“When we step onto the cricket field we do so as rivals but in the battle against HIV and
AIDS we are united. AIDS is a common enemy and we must fight it together.”

Farewell to Inzamam
Few cricketers have endured more criticism and ridicule than Inzamam-ul-Haq.
Inzamam's exceptional talents with the bat are often overshadowed by his less than ideal
physique. His disdain for running singles, matched only by the contempt he shows
opposing bowlers, is legendary: yet he has never received the accolades reserved for the
other greats of his era. In 2005, he was mysteriously left out of Rest of World XI and
most observers do not put him alongside Ponting and Dravid as one of the great batsmen
of this era. All this despite being the first name opposing teams circled when looking at
the Pakistani line up, and scoring just as many runs as the other greats. All through it, he
kept making runs - heaps of them in fact. And he made them at perfect times too: his
average of almost 80 in winning tests underlines his importance to the fortunes of his
team.
Conventional wisdom says that players from the subcontinent cannot play quality fast
bowling. Well, except Inzy. The great Imran Khan called him the best player in the world
against pace, and it was no exaggeration. Bowl a bouncer: prepare to be hooked and
pulled; bowl wide: prepare to suffer. Tim de Lisle once said that the mark of a great
batsman is the time that he has to play the ball and if that is indeed the benchmark, then
Inzy should be at the top of the list. His style was described as "lazy", and in fact, it was.
But the un-initiated never realised how much of a compliment that was. No, he did not
like running singles, but he didn't have to. He ended with an average of 50, and 25
centuries to boot, while batting with the grandeur of a king; the pressure never interfering
with the quickness of his feet. Cricket is a game of skill, of the mind, and of the reflexes
and he possessed all three in abundance.
He leaves the game as the second leading run scorer in one-day internationals - behind
only Sachin Tendulkar. As a captain, he was underrated and served his country in that

capacity for three years - the longest tenure since Imran Khan and the fourth longest
overall. In what is arguably the most difficult job in cricket, he united a historically
fractious bunch and stopped England in their tracks after their Ashes high. There was also
the small matter of five consecutive fifties in the series, including twin centuries in the
second Test. That might have been his best moment as captain and as a batsman: with his
shrewd captaincy and magnificent batting, he destroyed English hopes for a recovery in
the series.
Of course, that was before it all fell apart at the Oval, with scandal after scandal rocking
Pakistani cricket. Inzy seemed like the last person to make a statement, but after being
accused of ball tampering by Darrell Hair, he decided he had enough and stayed in the
dressing room as a protest. The umpires decided to award the match to England and thus
Pakistan became the first side in the history of Test Cricket to forfeit a game. He became
a hero to most Pakistanis and a villain to most others, but he stuck by his decision. The
subsequent inquiry cleared his team of ball tampering, but found him guilty of bringing
the game into disrepute. This verdict was welcomed by Inzy and PCB, who only wanted
to be vindicated of cheating.
That entire fiasco aside, and with all due respect to Javed Miandad, Hanif Mohammad,
and Saeed Anwar, Inzy has been arguably the greatest batsman Pakistan has ever
produced. His 20,000 international runs put him in elite company: company that he
thoroughly deserves. His biggest innings was a massive 329 against New Zealand, where
he came in at 57 for two and clobbered the New Zealand attack for close to ten hours.
Apart from Imran Nazir's 127, no one else in the top seven made 30 and Pakistan ended
up winning by an innings. Any illusions of the pitch being a typical subcontinent road
were dispelled by Shoaib Akhtar when he took six wickets for just 11 runs in the New
Zealand's first innings, lending even more weight to the runs scored by Inzamam.
He got progressively better with age, too: his average after ten tests was 31.06; after 50, it
was 43.48; after a hundred tests, it was over fifty. Add the fact that 17 of his 25 centuries
came in winning tests, and he is peerless in the modern era. He was a true champion

playing for his country, and played more match winning knocks to see Pakistan through
than any player alive. It is true that he was there when Pakistani cricket hit seemingly
bottomless lows, but he was an integral part of the unbelievable highs too: from the
World Cup win in 1992, when his impetuous 60 off 37 balls transformed the semi final
against New Zealand, to the epic performance in the England series in 2005.
Cricket at its best is more than a game, and more than mere escapism - especially in the
subcontinent. It is followed with fervor unmatched in any sport, anywhere. It enriches our
lives: it can give us hope, or plunge us into despair. Inzamam provided all of that in
abundance, and the highest compliment we can pay is that while Inzamam was out in the
middle, we always had hope. Inzamam may or may not play another game in whites, but
if he does not, cricket will be poorer for it. Goodbye, Inzy - and thanks for the highs.
Major Achievements
Inzamam is the second batsman to score 10,000 runs in One day Internationals after
Sachin Tendulkar Was named in the World Team XI for both test and One day
Internationals in the 2005 ICC Awards
What others said...
Anil Kumble
He was one of the top five batsmen I bowled to in international cricket and I was
fortunate enough to get him on more than a few occasions. He always had a lot of time,
knew when to take the risk and when just to push along. He was very good at planning
an innings.

Allan Donald
Bowling to Inzy was almost like bowling to a brick wall. Everything about him was
unfazed, nothing could rattle him” he was so solid. He was very calm of nature, and even
as captain you felt he never got angry. The only time I saw him angry was when Pakistan
were called off the field at The Oval last year.
Damien Fleming
During the 1994 tour of Pakistan, in the game before my Test debut, at Karachi, I was
the 12th man and I was asked to put the champagne on ice when the ninth wicket for
Pakistan went down. But by the end of it Inzamam and Mushy (Mushtaq Ahmed) put on
60-odd to win the game. Inzamam showed a lot of maturity, a lot of class, putting faith in
his partner not to panic even if he was a No. 11. He is an intelligent cricketer.
Chaminda Vaas
It was always a challenge to bowl to Inzamam, one of the greats of international cricket
in both forms of the game. It was not difficult to bowl at him as such, but his was never a
cheap wicket” he always was among runs. You had to bowl in good areas; the margin of
error against him was very, very limited.
Matthew Hoggard
Inzamam is one of the greatest batsmen who have ever lived. And one of his greatest
virtues was that he had so much time for his shots. That was because he always hung
back; he did not lunge at the ball and get forward mentally” like all great batsmen in
history.

Inzamam’s Quotes
“Shahid Afridi is perfect for T20 cricket and he has lot of energy and enthusiasm as a
captain. He will be vital to Pakistan’s success in the tournament. I see him turning out to
be an inspirational leader for his team”
— Inzamam-ul-Haq on Shahid Afridi as a captain for Pakistan / April 30, 2010
Related Quotes: Shahid Afridi2010 Twenty20 World Cup
“The way I see it this Pakistan team is well balanced and so strong for this format of the
game. It shouldn’t lose to any team unless they self-destruct with internal issues. The
bowling is strong and has variety so that will be their strength but the batting has issues
and the senior players will have to shoulder the responsibilities”
— Inzamam-ul-Haq saying Pakistan is a well balanced side and has the potential to
defend their Twenty20 World Cup title / April 30, 2010
“India and South Africa, I think, are the greatest threats to Pakistan’s ambition to win the
T20 World Cup. I am very impressed with the disciplined way South Africans play, while
the Indians have some dangerous players with plenty of flair”
— Inzamam-ul-Haq saying India and South Africa are the greatest threats to Pakistan in
the Twenty20 World Cup / April 30, 2010
“Younis and Yousuf should go to court to challenge the decision. This is not a good
decision for Pakistan cricket. The board is not setting a good example before young
cricketers. I don't understand the thinking that led them to take such a decision. The
committee comprised employees of the PCB and there was no neutral person in it. What
sort of message are we delivering to the world by taking such decisions at a time when
nobody is agreeing to come to Pakistan to play cricket? “
— Inzamam-ul-Haq on the ban and heavy fines on top Pakistan cricketers after their
failure in the Australia tour / March 10, 2010
