Mohammad Hafeez
Mohammad Hafeez (Punjabi and Urdu: محمد حفیظ; born 17 October 1980) is a Pakistani cricket coach and former cricketer. He was a member of the Pakistan team that won the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, and had a major role in the final, where he scored an unbeaten half century. He retired from Test cricket after the third and final match against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi in December 2018, departing the ground for the final time in white clothing to a guard of honour from his teammates. On 3 January 2022, he announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket, ending a career that spanned more than 18 years.
He was the fourth international player to play in the Caribbean Premier League and the first Pakistani player to be chosen for Twenty20 tournament. He is nicknamed "The Professor". The major teams for which he played are Pakistan, Lahore, Lahore Lions, Guyana Amazon Warriors, Kolkata Knight Riders, Sargodha, Sui Gas Corporation of Pakistan. Hafeez scored his test career best of 224 runs against Bangladesh in 2015 at Khulna during the Dan Cake Series.
In August 2018, he was one of the thirty-three players to be awarded a central contract for the 2018–19 season by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). In December 2018, during Pakistan's series against New Zealand, Hafeez announced that he would retire from Test cricket following the conclusion of the tour, to focus on limited-overs cricket. Hafeez said that the time was right to retire from Test cricket and that he was honoured to represent Pakistan in 55 Test matches, including captaining the team.
After a lackluster personal ICC 2019 World Cup campaign albeit a match-winning 84 batting at number 4 against England in the round-robin stage in 2019, he found new life as a T20 specialist for Pakistan and various leagues across the world. This culminated in him being the leading run scorer in T20I cricket in the world in 2020.
Hafeez made his first-class debut in February 1999 for Sargodha against Karachi, opening the innings (13 and 6). He struck his maiden first-class century in September 2001, 112 off 121 for SNGPL versus Khan Research Laboratories at Rawalpindi.
In the President’s Trophy at Rawalpindi (10 November 2012), Hafeez produced a dominant all-round display for SNGPL against United Bank Limited, taking 4 for 13 as UBL were dismissed for 165, then top-scoring with 193 off 301 balls (32 fours) in SNGPL’s 455/5 dec. UBL folded for 74 in the second innings to give SNGPL victory by an innings and 216 runs.
Hafeez was one of several young all-rounders whom the Pakistani cricket team turned to in order to revitalize their team after their poor display in 2003 World Cup where Pakistan was out from first round. He entered international cricket with his ODI debut against Zimbabwe at Sharjah in April 2003, and his Test debut followed in August 2003 against Bangladesh at Karachi, where he made 51 off 151 in a seven-wicket win.
In these early months of 2003, Hafeez had scored a half-century in only his second ODI innings and, in the Cherry Blossom Cup at Sharjah, took five wickets at 17.00 with an economy of 3.54. However, his form with both bat and ball was inconsistent and in late 2003 he was dropped from the Test squad and subsequently from the ODI team.
