Azhar Mahmood

Azhar Mahmood Sagar is a Pakistani cricketer, born February 28, 1975.

A genuine all-rounder, Azhar has talent in abundance and is able to deliver the goods in one-day and Test cricket.

As a batsman, the right-hander often raises the tempo of the lower-middle order, particulary relishing shots off his legs as well as anything short.

In attack, he is a useful English-style seam bowler who can chip in with wickets in time of need.

Azhar made his one-day international debut against India in 1996, but it was only when he played in his first Test against South Africa the following year that he gained true recognition.
