Hassan Adnan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mohammad Hasan Adnan (born May 15, 1975 in Lahore) is a Pakistani cricket player who has played for the cricket teams of Islamabad, Water and Power Development Authority, Gujranwala, Derbyshire and Lahore.

One of the most adaptable Pakistani batsmen today, and regarded particularly for his skills in slow accumulation of runs rather than blistering pace or skill, he became Derbyshire's Player of the Year in 2004, and subsequently the next year found himself suffering from a dip in form in 2005. His best career score to date, of 191, came during September 2005. He now has English citizenship, but is possibly unlucky to have never been present in the Pakistani game, having averaged, at one point in his career, over 50.

An innocuous offspinner, his deft skill is badly overlooked by some batsmen.
