Imran Nazir is an aggressive batsman though his technique has been found useful to Pakistan, but when in full swing he is a sight to watch. An accurate timer of the ball, he has the ability to carry out his natural game regardless of the match situation but is quite liable to get out quicker as the pressure builds upon him. A meagre average of 25 in one day cricket suggests that Imran has been unable to make the step up to international, despite being given numerous chances by the Pakistani selectors. He is also an orthodox leg spinner but very rarely does he have the opportunity to bowl, or maybe he is not tempted by the prospect of bowling.

LAHORE - ICL rebel players, opener Imran Nazir and all-rounder Rana Navedul Hasan have staged a comeback in the Pakistan national team for the five match one-day series against Sri Lanka and the Champions Trophy later this year while controversial and always-unfit fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar failed to impress the selectors as the initial team was announced by the PCB here Wednesday.
The Pakistan Cricket Board announced a 16-member team for the Sri Lanka ODIs beginning from July 30 while a preliminary 30-man squad for the South Africa Champions Trophy from September 22 to October 5, which was shifted to the country from Pakistan due to security reasons.
