A left-hand opener from Lahore, Taufeeq Umar first
made his mark in the Lombard World Under-15 Challenge in England in
1996. He made 87 against England in the semi-final, and in the
final, which Pakistan lost to India, he opened with Hasan Raza, who
was to play Test cricket shortly afterwards. A front-foot player who
drives well, Taufeeq is nonetheless a good cutter. He can also bowl
some handy offspin. Taufeeq could not have asked for an easier
initiation into international cricket - he played his first Test
against Bangladesh, and duly notched up a hundred to become the
eighth player to score a century on Test debut for Pakistan. But far
more impressive were his subsequent performances - an 88 against a
top-class Australian attack was followed by a flawless 135 against
South Africa at Cape Town. On those bouncy pitches, Taufeeq had
ample time to play the seamers. He did not get much opportunity in
the World Cup, but showed himself to be an absolute asset in
Pakistan's home series against South Africa, scoring a hundred and
three fifties in four innings. Clearly a long-term prospect in
Pakistan's Test line-up |
