With a high-arm action modelled on Glenn McGrath,
Iftikhar Anjum is another addition to Pakistan's seemingly endless
production line of pace bowlers. Iftikhar, however, is more Aaqib
Javed than Wasim Akram or Waqar Younis, and his outswinger is
considered by many to be just as lethal as Aaqib's. He can bowl
reverse-swing - a prerequisite for Pakistani bowlers, when the ball
gets a bit rougher, with good control over his yorkers. Iftikhar has
performed consistently well in the domestic circuit since making his
debut three years ago, taking over 200 wickets on the generally
lifeless pitches of Pakistan. It was his stellar performances in the
current domestic season that brought him to national attention.
Iftikhar led his team - the Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited - to
victory in the Patron's Trophy final against WAPDA, taking seven
wickets in the first innings and ending with ten in the match. Not
surprisingly, he was included in Pakistan's one-day squad for the
series against India in 2004, before making his debut in the Paktel
Cup seven moths later.
