Rawait Khan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rawait Khan (born March 5, 1982) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who played for Derbyshire, Derbyshire CB, and Pakistan Customs in a four-year first-class career which saw him bowl mostly in Second XI Championship matches.

Khan, who, with the struggling Derbyshire team often played at number nine in order to gain some bowling experience for the team, made a big impact in only his second appearance with a skilful knock of 91. He thereafter kept out of the limelight in terms of spectacular batting, though held his own as a skilful, uncontroversial opener. He finished his cricket with the major counties in 2004, instead transferring to Minor County outfit Shropshire.

Khan's brother, Zubair, also played first-class cricket for Derbyshire in 2000.
