Farooq Hamid (born 3 March 1945) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played in one Test in 1964.
A tall right-arm opening bowler, Farooq Hamid made his first-class debut in 1961-62, and toured England with the Pakistan Eaglets in 1963. He played two matches for Pakistan against the Commonwealth XI in 1963-64, when Alf Gover judged that he was one of the fastest bowlers in the world, but lacked accuracy. [1]
Hamid toured Australia and New Zealand with the Pakistan team in 1964-65, playing his only Test against Australia in Melbourne. His only Test wicket was that of Ian Chappell, who was also playing his first Test match. [2] Hamid continued playing first-class cricket in Pakistan until the 1969-70 season, when he retired owing to lack of encouragement or opportunity to play for his country. [3]
His best first-class bowling figures came in the match against Wellington in 1964-65, when he bowled unchanged through the innings to take 7 for 16 and dismissed Wellington for 53. [4] Playing for PIA against Peshawar in 1967-68, Hamid took 5 for 30 and 5 for 20. [5]
Hamid's cousin Khalid Aziz also played first-class cricket in Pakistan and was a Test umpire. Farooq's sister Tahira Hamid helped to set up the Pakistan Women's Cricket Association in 1978. [6] She was the inaugural secretary. [7]
