Mohammad Hafeez Biography
Mohammad Hafeez was one of the few players who were given his chances when the Pakistan squad was revamped following a dismal 2003 World Cup.

The youngster didn’t do badly, scalping two wickets on ODI debut and a half century in only his second ODI. His defensive abilities and temperament impressed selectors and despite his inconsistency, Hafeez was drafted into the Test side. Debuting against Bangladesh, the opener had a great start to his Test career with a fifty and century in consequent Tests and looked on course to be cementing his place in the side. However, a poor run in the ODI format against the same opponents coupled with a horrendous series against South Africa, where he could manage only one two digit score from 5 ODIs, he found himself dropped from the team in both formats.

With some good performances both domestically and for Pakistan A, he roared his way back in the team in 2005, but still continued to struggle in the ODI arena. A fine, battling 95 he scored in his comeback Test was marred by the infamous Oval Test in which Pakistan awarded England the game. Hafeez scored his second Test century against a visiting West Indies side but inconsistency continued to haunt him and he was dropped from the team for a second time, but nevertheless continued to make comebacks. One of the best fielders in the side, Hafeez is also a good bet as their fifth bowler.

The talented cricketer did well enough in the Pakistani side to earn his Twenty20 captaincy, which was given to him after Misbah-ul-Haq stepped down from his post in 2012.
