( born October 15, 1988) is a Pakistani tall and slim right-arm fast-medium bowler. He has gained an increasing reputation on the Pakistani domestic set-up for quick bowling eventually leading to a call up to the international squad for the February 2009 test series against Sri Lanka
Relatively inexperienced at this stage but was first noticed in 2005 Afro-Asia Cup playing for the Pakistan U-19's, able to extract bounce and sharp burst of speed. However injuries limited his performance in the coming year. His performance in the 2008-09 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy gained him recognition, playing for National Bank of Pakistan alongside fellow young pace prospect Mohammad Aamer he gained his first 10 wicket haul against Pakistan Customs side, taking 10 for 119 in match. Half way through the season he had 34 wickets in just 6 games.

In the past few years he has worked extensively with Aaqib Javaid at the National Cricket Academy based in Karachi, where he slightly re-modified his action to avoid persistent injuries. Aaqib said of Talha that he believed him to be close to national team selection and that he was the fastest bowler in Pakistan after Shoaib Akhtar.

In a recent interview Talha commented on his desire to known as a genuine fast bowler and to represent Pakistan at the highest level.


    I want to be a 145kp/h+ bowler. I dont want to get slower, I just want to get faster and faster
    —Mohammad Talha

In the home test series against Sri Lanka in 2009, he was chosen in the 15 man squad for both the first and second test. For the first test he was overlooked for pacemen Sohail Khan and all-rounder Yasir Arafat.
Mohammad Talha grew-up in Faisalabad where he began playing tape ball cricket, encouraged by his elder brother. In 2003 he went for the Under 16's trial in the Faisalabad region and got selected but admits to not having the stamina at the time for longer version of the game. He has stated that like many young Pakistani bowlers of the current era Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis were his cricketing idols whilst growing up and also added that Brett Lee too someone he try to learn from.

Waqar Younis

This is about Cricket Player Waqar Younis
Waqar Younis Biography
Full name Waqar Younis Maitla
Born November 16, 1971, Vehari, Punjab
Major teams Pakistan, Glamorgan, Karachi, Lahore, Multan, Rawalpindi, Surrey
Batting style Right-hand bat
Bowling Style Right-arm fast
Often credited as the bowler who made the reverse swing popular, Waqar Younis was one of Pakistan’s premium strike bowlers for many years. Having made his debut in the late 1980s when it was customary to bowl fast and short balls, Waqar instead began bowling deliveries that were fast and full. He did not strike gold instantly, but gradually started to master the technique which also included a lot of late inswing. His good deliveries were almost impossible to play and many a time crashed into the stumps. He was also once considered to be the world’s fastest bowler. However his pace and action strained his body and he was out with injuries on a few occasions.

Waqar Younis had the habit of aiming at the wickets rather than the batsman. This was a novel tactic and he was so successful with it that he became the player to have the best strike rate among bowlers who took 200 Test wickets.
After a long 11 years of cricket, Waqar Younis seemed to lose his touch in 2000. However, taking into consideration his immense talent and swashbuckling record he was appointed skipper of the Pakistani national squad in 2001. However, the team did not perform well under him and after the disastrous 2003 World Cup, Waqar Younis was removed as captain. It was the end of the road for this very gifted cricketer and he announced his retirement in 2004. After retirement he has taken to commentary and coaching.

Cricket Player Zulqarnain Biography and Photos and Videos

Zulqarnain  Biography

Full name Zulqarnain Haider

Born April 23, 1986, Lahore
Major teams Pakistan, Lahore Blues, Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited, Pakistan Under-19s, Rawalpindi
Batting style Right-hand bat
Fielding position Wicketkeeper
There was a time when it was not at all certain that Zulqarnain Haider, a tall and lanky wicketkeeper from Lahore, would ever build on his debut, which came in a heavy loss in a Twenty20 against South Africa in February 2007. But after some good domestic results he found a place on the 2010 England tour as Kamran Akmal's understudy, and when the senior keeper's lapses became too frequent, Haider was given a Test debut at Edgbaston. He was out to his first ball feathering a catch behind, but his characterful and determined 88 in the second innings formed the basis of a fightback.
That innings was testament to his character as his road to the top has been made in difficult personal circumstances. He took part in the Under-15 World Cup in England in the summer of 2000 at the age of 13. Four years later, at the Under-19 World Cup in Dhaka, he scored a vital 23 not out from 18 balls, and claimed three catches, as Pakistan took the title in the final against West Indies.
A broken finger after his Test debut ruled him out for the remainder of the tour and then his career appeared to come to an extraordinary, and worrying, end when he fled the one-day series against South Africa in UAE for London claiming he had received death threats following the fourth ODI. He sought asylum in London fearing for his safety, but returned to Pakistan eventually in 2011.

Gautam Gambhir Punjabi:About this sound pronunciation (help·info) (born 14 October 1981, in Delhi) is an Indian cricketer, a batsman. He has been a member of the Indian national cricket team since 2003 (ODIs) and 2004 (Tests). Gambhir had been a prolific run-scorer in domestic cricket with an average of over 50 but his two successive double-hundreds in 2002 (one of them against the visiting Zimbabweans) made him a strong contender for India's opening slot. He became only the fourth Indian batsman to score a double century in a tour game at home; the previous three being Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar and Sachin Tendulkar. He is the only Indian batsman to score more than 300 runs in four consecutive Test series. He is also the only Indian, and one of only four international cricketers, to have scored five hundreds in five consecutive test matches.On July 2009, for a period of ten days he was the number one ranked batsman in ICC Test rankings.
