Parvez Ghulam Rasool Zargar (born 13 February 1989 in Bijbehara, Jammu and Kashmir is an Cricketer who plays as allrounder for Jammu & Kashmir. He is a right-hand batsman and offbreak bowler.[1] Rasool is the captain of Jammu & Kashmir team and a regular member of the India A team.
Rasool was the first cricketer from Jammu & Kashmir to have played in the IPL. He got his maiden call-up for the national team in 2013 for the Zimbabwe tour. He became the second cricketer from Jammu & Kashmir, after Vivek Razdan, to get selected for the national side.[2]
Personal life and early career
Rasool is from Bijbehara in the Anantnag district of Kashmir. His coach there was Abdul Qayoom who has played a good level of cricket. Before playing junior cricket for Jammu and Kashmir, Rasool learnt the game from Qayoom. Rasool's father, Ghulam Rasool, and brother, Asif, both have played competitive cricket.[3][4][5]
During 2009 CLT20, Rasool was detained by the police in Bangalore in connection with a suspected presence of traces of explosives in his bag. He objected to the checking of his bag by sniffer dogs at his hotel. After questioning, the police learnt that his resistance was only due to his Koran and a prayer mat in the bag. Rasool had come to Bangalore as a part of the Jammu & Kashmir Under-22 team playing in the CK Nayudu Trophy, and was staying at the KSCA's residential complex which was a few yards away from the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Rasool was released by the police after a few hours as no incriminating evidence was found.
Career
In the 2012-13 Ranji season, Rasool scored 594 runs from 7 matches at an average of 54 including two centuries, and took 33 wickets at an average of 18 with three five-wicket hauls. His impressive performance was rewarded as he was included in the India A squad to play the warm-up one-day match against England on 6 January 2013.[6] With this, he became the first cricketer from the Kashmir Valley to be picked for India 'A'.
In February 2013, Rasool wreaked havoc in his three spells as he took 7 wickets which helped Board President's XI bowl out the visiting Australian side for a modest 241. His seven scalps included top-order batsmen such as regular Test opener Ed Cowan, stand-in captain and wicketkeeper Matthew Wade and all-rounder Steve Smith.[7][8]
Indian Premier League
On 14 February 2013, Rasool became first cricketer from Jammu & Kashmir to bag an IPL contract, signing up with the Pune Warriors for the 2013 season.[9][10] He made his IPL debut on 9 May 2013 against the Kolkata Knight Riders at Pune. He got the wicket of Jacques Kallis and finished with figures of 1/23 off 4 overs in that match.[11] He played his next IPL match against the Mumbai Indians on 11 May in which he scored 4* and bowled one over conceding five runs.
