Rana Naved-ul-Hasan (b. February 28, 1978 in Sheikhupura, Punjab) is a cricketer who plays for the Pakistani Test and One Day International teams. He also plays for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in England.
A right-arm fast-medium bowler capable of generating good pace with late swing, he is a genuine strike bowler although prone to leaking runs. He often bowls the reverse-swinging yorker at one day cricket and has a good control over change of pace. Rana is also a useful attacking lower-order batsman with 3 first class hundreds.
Rana has only made the occasional Test appearance for Pakistan with little success, having to compete with the likes of Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Asif, Umar Gul and Mohammad Sami for a place in the side. As a result he has become somewhat of an ODI specialist

[edit] Career Highlights
Naved-ul-Hasan made his international debut at the Cherry Blossom Sharjah Cup on the 4th of April immediately after the poor 2003 Cricket World Cup campaign in which Pakistan were eliminated in the first round and multiple players were dropped. Playing against Sri Lanka, Rana took the wickets of Hashan Tillakaratne and Prasanna Jayawardene in consecutive balls but failed to take a hattrick. Despite several good performances he was soon dropped from the side, for alleged disciplinary problems[2].
With injuries to key members of the Pakistani pace attack he worked his way back into the side and has become an important member of the ODI side. His career best figures are 6 for 27, made in a victory over India in Jamshedpur.
[edit] County Cricket
Since June 2005 Rana played English county cricket for Sussex, where he has formed an effective partnership with fellow Pakistani bowler Mushtaq Ahmed. He has also had success with the bat, scoring a career best 139 against Middlesex.
On 12 September 2007 Rana dislocated his shoulder in a match against Durham and had to be carried off the field [1]. This was to be his last game for Sussex as the ECB brought in a rule which restricts each county to one overseas player and Sussex opted for Mushtaq Ahmed.
Rana received offers from Leicestershire and Yorkshire to remain in English County Cricket, and on 26 September 2007 signed a two year deal with Yorkshire [2].
