Mushtaq Ahmed is one of Pakistan's greatest cricketers — a wrist-spin bowler of exceptional craft whose career spanned more than a decade at the highest level of Test cricket.
Born in Sahiwal, Pakistan in 1970, Mushtaq was a key member of the Pakistan team that won the 1992 Cricket World Cup under the captaincy of Imran Khan — one of the greatest sporting achievements in Pakistani history.
Over his Test career he took 185 wickets, developing a reputation as one of the most dangerous and deceptive spin bowlers of his era. After retiring from playing, he became a highly respected coach and mentor, serving as spin bowling coach for England and helping develop a generation of world-class spinners.
His impact on the game extends well beyond his own playing career, and he remains a deeply respected figure across the cricketing world.
