Mushtaq Ahmed

Mushtaq Ahmed (born 28 June, 1970 in Sahiwal) is a Pakistani cricketer, more specifically a leg spin bowler. He is known for his hard-to-pick googly. He famously trapped Graeme Hick in front with one during the 1992 World Cup Final. Despite taking over 150 one-day international and Test wickets, he hasn't played international cricket since October 2003.

He has played a lot of county cricket in England, including for Somerset and Surrey earlier in his career, and now for Sussex.

In 2003, Mushtaq was the leading wicket taker in county cricket, finishing the season with 103, and inspiring Sussex to the First Division Title. Following this, he was recalled by Pakistan but was soon dropped for being ineffectual. In the 2004 season, Mushtaq was again the leading wicket taker in English county cricket with 84 scalps, but with Danish Kaneria's emergence as Pakistan's first-choice leggie, Mushtaq looks unlikely to play for Pakistan's national side again.
