Rana Naved-ul-Hasan Career

Full name Rana Naved-ul-Hasan Born February 28, 1978, Sheikhupura, Punjab Current age 31 years 166 days Major teams Pakistan, Allied Bank, Herefordshire, ICL Pakistan XI, Lahore Badshahs, Lahore Division, Pakistan Customs, Sheikhupura Cricket Association, Sialkot Cricket Association, Sussex, Yorkshire Also known as Rana Naved Batting style Right-hand bat Bowling style Right-arm medium-fast A right-arm fast-medium bowler capable of generating good pace with late swing, he is a genuine strike bowler although prone to leaking runs. He often bowls the reverse-swinging yorker in one day cricket and has good control over changes of pace. Rana is also a useful attacking lower-order batsman with 3 first class hundreds. He paid the ultimate price for a poor run of form in 2007 (which featured a career threatening injury sustained for Yorkshire CC) – not only was he dropped from the Pakistan team, he failed to secure a Central Contract, which ultimately proved the catalyst in him joining the ‘rebel’ Indian Cricket League (ICL) for the 2008 season, where he made a huge impact as batsman and bowler. Voted the ‘2008 Man of the Tournament’ for the guiding the Lahore Badshah’s to the ICL Championship, Rana Naved is arguably in the best form of his career. Rana is back at Yorkshire for his second season there and has recently been released from his ICL contract. Future international availability though is still up in the air.
