Umar Gull Biography

KARACHI: Senior Pakistan fast bowler Umar Gul, who underwent knee surgery in Australia last May, announced on Thursday he was ready to return to competitive cricket after a lapse of more than six months.

The 29-year-old right-arm bowler was sent to Melbourne where Dr David Young, a renowned orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in sports injuries, performed an arthroscopy on the right knee after the cricketer limped out of the one-day series during the South Africa tour.

Consequently, Umar was ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy in England and Wales and the subsequent tours of the West Indies and Zimbabwe.

In his enforced absence, Pakistan failed to progress beyond the preliminary round of the Champions Trophy where they lost all three games before winning both the Twenty20 and ODI series in the West Indies.

But the national side had a mixed trip to Zimbabwe. Despite winning the Twenty20 and one-day series, Pakistan suffered a shock 24-run defeat in the second Test in Harare which enabled lowly-rated Zimbabweans share the two-match rubber.

Since returning from Australia, Umar — the leading bowler in all Twenty20 Internationals with 74 wickets in 52 matches — had spent the best part of last seven weeks at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore.

Under the guidance of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)’s team of Dr Sohail Saleem and trainers Yasir and Ashraf, Umar had been undergoing rehabilitation programme to regain complete fitness.

“Thank God, everything appears to be settling down. The knee is fine with no signs of ill-effects from the surgery I had a few months ago. Over the past 15 days, I have started bowling in the nets as well,” Umar revealed while talking to Dawn.

“I’m pretty optimistic of getting back the rhythm [of old days] as I feel fine at the moment. It is just that there is no competition at present to find out the actual status of [my] fitness.”

Pakistan are due to play ‘host’ to South Africa in the United Arab Emirates from Oct 14 in two Tests, which will be followed by five One-day Internationals and two Twenty20 fixtures.

It is unlikely that the national selectors would risk Umar, currently Pakistan’s leading paceman with 163 wickets in 47 Tests and 161 in 116 one-dayers, considering for the forthcoming matches.

And with the domestic first-class season not slated to begin after Eid-ul-Azha in the third week of October, Umar won’t have the chance of proving his match fitness to put himself in contention for the South Africa.

“Yeah, I am yearning to play some matches to test myself. Although I have trained [during the rehabilitation phase] and then bowling [in the nets], one can’t aspire to judge both the level of fitness and form if there is no competitive sort of matches,” Umar, who made his Test debut when Bangladesh toured Pakistan in 2003, said.

“I’m obviously not worried about the number of matches I missed because of the surgery. But it was quite difficult to sit out and watch team-mates playing without me.

“Fortunately, the injury this time was not as serious as the one I suffered in 2004 [after helping Pakistan win the Lahore Test against India] when three stress fractures of the back sidelined me from the game for more than a year. At that stage I feared my career was over.”

Umar, who twice returned figures of five wickets for six runs in Twenty20 Internationals, against New Zealand at The Oval during Pakistan’s triumphant World T20 campaign in 2009 and then against South Africa at Centurion last March, said that the forthcoming series against the would be competitive despite South Africa’s top ranking in Test cricket.

“It would be a great Test series because Pakistan have the potential to compete against them. We may have lost against them earlier this year but our side can win because the conditions will suit us more than we encountered in South Africa,” Umar commented. “I would love to play against them, but it all depends how it all goes for me in the coming weeks.”

Kamran Akmal (born 13 January 1982 in Lahore) is a Pakistani cricketer who has played 38 Test matches and 88 ODIs for Pakistan. He is a quick-scoring batsman and a wicket-keeper, who has achieved four centuries and two fifties in 31 Test innings. However, his first century was vital - his 109 from the number eight position at Mohali, coming in with Pakistan in a lead of 39 against India in the first Test, ensured that the visitors could draw the match. His form against the touring English in 2005 made him one of the most important players in the team. Naturally, he is a batsman that plays lower down the order but has sometimes opened in both Test and One-day cricket. As an opener he has scored two back to back centuries in ODIs against England. Coming in lower down the order in Test matches, he played one memorable innings. He saved Pakistan from a score of 39/6, scoring a century, to a competitive 245 which helped Pakistan win the match and series. His batting was highly productive in early 2006 as he scored seven international hundreds within the space of 6 months. Since his tour of England in Summer 2006 however his batting form dwindled and steadily become worse. His wicket-keeping also worsened and dropped many catches on both the England tour and on a tour to South Africa in early 2007. Since then he did not score an international hundred until the Bangladeshi tour of Pakistan in 2008. Kamran Akmal was dropped for the Asia Cup 2008 as a result of his poor batting form and very poor keeping. He was replaced by Sarfraz Ahmed who has performed very well the domestic level. Kamran was named in the 30 man probable squad for the 2008 ICC Champions Trophy. On 12 November 2008, Akmal hit two consecutive 6s in the last over. As a result Pakistan won the first ODI in Abu Dhabi against West Indies. Akmal was also signed on to the Rajasthan Royals, and played in the inaugural season of the IPL. He played five matches in the tournament, as wicket-keeper and top-order batsman, including the final of the tournament against the Chennai Super Kings. He took two catches in the first innings, however he was run out for six runs during the Royal's chase. The Royals went on to win the tournament after a thrilling finish.

Relation Brother - Adnan Akmal, Brother - Umar Akmal

Kamran Akmal might fighting fit be the majority vigorous testimony of cricket’s distorted main concerned position Adam Gilchrist. A side at the present rummage around for a volatile batsman who can revolutionize a day, an innings, and a stage by means of the bat and so elongated while you can recognize right wicket keeping glove from left, the position is yours.

There has been diminutive distrust concerning Akmal’s batting. The cleanliness of his constrains and the potency of his wounding and dragging, for the most part on slower subcontinent exteriors, has all the time apprehended a strong magnetism. And when it comes mutually as it did one January morning in Karachi in opposition to India – one of the Test innings of that decade – he makes it in the side as a batsman unaccompanied.

Other than his glove work, which started quit auspiciously at what time he successfully finished the battle between Rashid Latif and Moin Khan in belatedly 2004, has got worse frighteningly and a small number of Pakistan matches are complete exclusive of a lumbering Akmal mistake.

It was not for all time hence, for that he was excellent at what time he started, quit presentable to make an impression Ian Healy. On the other hand uncontrollably cricket in all three systems have consent to methodological blunders move stealthily in and critics and specialists have extended pushed for the need for him to take a break.

Kamran Akmal may well be the most emphatic proof of cricket's changed priorities post Adam Gilchrist. Sides now search for an explosive batsman who can change a day, an innings, a phase with the bat and so long as you can identify right wicketkeeping glove from left, the place is yours.There has been little doubt about Akmal's batting. The purity of his drives and the strength of his cutting and pulling, particularly on slower subcontinent surfaces, has always held a strong allure. And when it comes together as it did one January morning in Karachi against India - one of the Test innings of that decade - he makes it in the side as a batsman alone.

But his glovework, which began so promisingly when he effectively ended the dogfight between Rashid Latif and Moin Khan in late 2004, has deteriorated alarmingly and few Pakistan matches are complete without a clumsy Akmal error. It wasn't always thus, for he was good when he began, good enough to impress Ian Healy. But non-stop cricket in all three formats have let technical errors creep in and critics and experts have long pushed for the need for him to take a break.To quality spin, he is often as lost as the batsmen and Danish Kaneria, over the years, has suffered in particular. In a string of error-ridden performances, the one nobody will forget will be the four dropped catches (and a missed run-out) in the Sydney Test of 2009-10, which allowed Australia to escape with a remarkable, traumatic win. Against this the memory of his Karachi hundred will always battle, with no clear winner ever likely to emerge. The tryst with controversy does his cause no good, with his refusal to accept his demotion from the side in the aftermath of a disastrous Sydney Test in 2009, eliciting a harsh fine and a disciplinary probation from the PCB.

The assignation with disagreement does his grounds no high-quality, with his negative response to agree with his relegation from the side in the consequences of a catastrophic Sydney Test in 2009, drawing out an inconsiderate fine and a punitive try-out from the PCB.

Profile
Abdul Razzaq was once rapid enough to open the bowling and remains composed enough to bat anywhere, though he is discovering that the lower-order suits him nicely. His bowling - the reason he was first noticed - is characterised by a galloping approach, accuracy, and reverse-swing. But it is his batting that is more likely to win matches. He boasts a prodigious array of strokes and is particularly strong driving through cover and mid-off off both front and back foot. He has two gears: block or blast. Cut off the big shots and Razzaq gets bogged down, although patience is his virtue as he demonstrated in a match-saving fifty against India in Mohali in 2005. Just prior to that he had also played a bewilderingly slow innings in Australia, scoring four runs in over two hours. When the occasion demands it though, as ODIs often do, he can still slog with the best of them: England were pillaged for a 22-ball 51 at the end of 2005. and then again for nearly 60 runs in the last three overs of an ODI in September the following year.

“Obviously, I was extremely disappointed,” Razzaq told Dunya News. “I wanted to perform for Pakistan and there couldn’t have been a better opportunity than the semi-final of such a big event. The decision was Hafeez’s.

“It was only him who decided to replace me with Tanvir. I fail to understand the logic behind the move and it is something only Hafeez can explain. Even Wasim Akram, who is the best cricketer ever, advised Hafeez to keep me in the team against Sri Lanka but he chose not to listen to the expert.

“I don’t understand why but he probably thinks he’s better and knows more than the legend of the game. My performances had been impressive but despite that Hafeez never took any of that into consideration and dropped me. The captain is supposed to take decisions that are in the best interest of the team but Hafeez chose to defy all logics and opted to drop me for the match. It was a disgraceful decision.”

Razzad added that members of the Sri Lanka team were relieved to see his name crossed out from the team-sheet.

“I talked to a couple of Sri Lankan players and they said that they feared my presence in the team. They were ecstatic when they heard about my exclusion.

“Watching from the sidelines, I thought it was an ideal situation for a batsman like me. I am confident I could have won the match for Pakistan if I was playing. I don’t know what Hafeez’s agenda was. If he thinks he is an expert of the game, he should be asked to justify the decision of dropping me because only he would know the logic behind it.”

On being asked about his future with the Pakistan cricket team, Razzaq said, “I am still physically fit. My fitness has never been a problem. I hope to continue playing for Pakistan for at least another two to three years.”

Umar Akmal

Umar Akmal Biography
source link (google.com.pk)

As explosive starts to one’s International careers go, few can rival Umar Akmal. He announced his entry with scores of 66 and 102* within his first 3 ODI innings (at Sri Lanka, 2009) in addition to a 129 and 75 on Test debut (at New Zealand, 2009). Those performances weren’t a surprise. At first class level, Akmal was renowned for his big scores amassed in quick time. 7 years prior to his debut, Umar’s elder brother Kamran had already gotten his taste of international cricket. By 2010, the siblings featured regularly, in tandem for Pakistan.
As a fearless, middle-order batsman, throughout Pakistan’s disappointing spree of series losses against Sri Lanka in 2009 and later at Australia in early 2010, Umar Akmal’s ascendance was one of their few positives. But as the series in Australia progressed, complacency began to creep into Akmal’s Test form, which started to dip. In ODIs though, a hundred and five fifties by his 18th outing maintained a steady average. It was enough to justify an inclusion in Pakistan’s 2010 T20 World Cup squad. He finished the tournament as Pakistan’s 3rd highest-run getter towards their semi-final run.
While still protected as a batsman, featuring at 3-down, in a Pakistan side that lacks specialist batsmen with the temperament for all forms of the game, Umar Akmal is their most proven rookie to fill the void for the years to come.

Fast Facts

Akmal’s total of 204 runs on his Test debut (against New Zealand) is the 8th highest ever.
It’s also the second highest for a Pakistani debutant behind Yasir Hameed’s 275 in 2003.
Akmal’s 129 on Test debut is the 4th highest for a Pakistani, making him one of only 7 players from his country to score a century on debut. Among those on the list, Akmal is the only centurion to have achieved the feat on foreign soil.
It took Umar Akmal 38 matches (6 Tests, 18 ODIs and 14 T20s) until playing for Pakistan in Pakistan, the third most behind teammate Mohammad Aamer (41) and Sri Lankan Greame Labrooy (53).
Along with brother Kamran Akmal, the Akmals are the 4th blood brothers to feature for Pakistan in the 60-odd years of cricket history.
Among top order batsmen, Akmal has the 4th best strike rate overall (Test, ODI and T20) for Pakistani players. (Minimum of 40 matches).

But middle brother Adnan was expected to carry on in the longer format on the forthcoming tour following a decent run since his promising entry as the wicket-keeper/batsman during the last Test series Pakistan played against the Proteas in the United Arab Emirates towards the end of 2010.

Adnan’s track record (440 runs and 55 dismissals in 16 Tests) definitely merited his selection, particularly with Misbah-ul-Haq being his biggest supporter. The Pakistan captain has felt at ease with his departmental team-mate — since both turn out for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited in the domestic competitions — behind the stumps. But the selectors this time have put their weight behind the in-and-out Sarfraz Ahmed on what is going to be a gruelling tour.

Sarfraz, who captained Pakistan to Under-19 World Cup glory in 2006, has generally remained in the shadow of both Kamran, who celebrates his 31st birthday on Sunday (today) and Adnan for a long time. In fact, Sarfraz made his Test debut ahead of Adnan in 2010 when he was sent on SOS call for the dead rubber fixture against the Aussies in Hobart after Kamran’s infamous howlers in the preceding Test in Sydney had tested the patience of his team-mates on that disastrous trip Down Under.

Widely regarded as the better wicket-keeper by many cynics, Sarfraz is bound to face intense scrutiny when he takes his position behind the timber in the opening Test at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Feb 1. A determined character, Sarfraz is amply capable of justifying his selection provided he controls the emotions and the pains he had to endure during his time on the sidelines when Adnan was preferred over him.

Umar Akmal, touted as a batsman of rare brilliance when he started playing first-class cricket in the autumn of 2007, should consider himself extremely fortunate to be still playing at international level. The youngest Akmal has sadly flattered to deceive on many occasions. Some 15 months ago, Mohsin Khan — then the chairman of selectors — made the right call by overlooking him for Test selection after Umar continuously repeated his reckless approach at the crease. It was a move aimed at making the youngster a more disciplined player in all forms of the game, but Umar, apparently, is in no mood to change his egocentric ways as we all saw during the recent limited-overs tour of India.

While most of the South Africa-bound members more or less picked themselves on merit, the fast-tracking of pace-bowling sensation Ehsan Adil is a very bold move keeping in mind that he is still in the middle of his maiden season of first-class cricket. The elevation of Mohammad Irfan is also not without risks since the gangling left-arm paceman is seldom used to bowling long spells in first-class tournaments.

The most remarkable selection is that of the prodigious left-handed batsman Haris Sohail who has now graduated from one form to another without even getting a chance to prove himself on the international stage. He was first selected in the Twenty20 squad for the Sri Lanka tour last June and then picked in the ODI squad for the Indian trip.

Faisal Iqbal, the ever-willing ‘fringe’ batsman also makes a comeback of sorts despite not getting a decent run in the past. Nobody has been made to wait for this long and Faisal, who is still only 31, deserve consistent opportunities to show his mettle.

It is an irony that both Faisal and Misbah made their Test debut together at Auckland against New Zealand in Mach 2001 and over the years have gone in different directions. That’s how Pakistan cricket operates!
