Azhar Mahmood Biography

Azhar Mahmood is one of the most popular and richest Pakistani cricketer who was born on February 28, 1975 in Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan. Azhar Mahmood Sgar (Punjabi Zhr mHmwd Sgr born on 27 February 1975) is a British Pakistani cricket coach and former player. As bowling coach, he was part for the Pakistani national cricket team from 2019.

Wisden in 2001 listed Azhar Mahmood’s 132-run innings in the match played by Pakistan to beat South Africa at Kingsmead Cricket Ground, Durban in 1997-98 as the 8th top Test innings in All Time in its list of Wisden 100. The article noted that “South Africa’s pace attack had more depth than at any other time in their history: Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock supported by Fanie de Villiers and Lance Klusener. No surprise that Pakistan were put in to bat on a treacherous pitch – or that they should be reduced to 89 for 5. Salvation came in the form of a 22-year-old allrounder who seemed to be batting too low at No.7: his century was already his third in six Test innings against South Africa. Tucking into a great pace bowler like Donald, he scored 96 runs in boundaries while proving himself an expert shepherd of a tail: he made 90% of Pakistan’s last 106 runs. They went on to win a low-scoring match by 29.”

He was recalled to the national side for the ODI series against South Africa in early 2007, but subsequently dropped when the 2007 Cricket World Cup team was announced. He was however recalled to go with the squad to the West Indies after a knee injury to Abdul Razzaq. It was Mahmood’s 3rd World Cup.

He played county cricket for Surrey and in November 2007 signed a two-year deal to play for Kent.

In 2000, Lieutenant General Tauqir Zia, then the PCB chairman, stated that the board will select the captain to succeed him and not on the basis of the seniority of the player – and when people find the selection unsatisfactory, they would not be picked. Later , in front of a few experienced players, he announced to Azhar Mahmood he would become the new Pakistan captain. Together they’d plan the next strategy. However, to date, this has never happened.

Azhar was the first player to make the One-Day International debut against India in 1996 at the Toronto Cricket Club, Toronto however, he did not receive significant recognition before his first Test match against South Africa the following year at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi in which he scored an unbeaten century and a half-century, but was not dismissed. Then he was able to score another two centuries in the match against South Africans.
