Haseeb Hameed (born 17 January 1997) is an English cricketer who plays for Lancashire and England. Primarily a right-handed batsman, he also bowls right-arm leg spin, and predominantly fields at short leg.
Haseeb made his first-class debut for Lancashire against Glamorgan in August 2015, opening the batting and scoring 28 in his first innings.[1] He signed a four year contract for Lancashire ahead of the 2016 season.[2] He scored over 1,000 runs in that season, breaking Mike Atherton's record as the youngest Lancashire player to reach that landmark.[3] In September 2016 he was named in England's Test squad for their tour to Bangladesh.[4] His subsequent debut came in the following tour of India in which he scored a half century.
International cricket
Haseeb became the youngest debutant to open for England in a Test match, when he played in the first Test against India at Rajkot on 9 November 2016.[5]
On 12 November 2016, day 4 of the first Test, Hameed scored his maiden Test half century, becoming the third youngest England batsman to reach 50 runs. He eventually was dismissed for 82, this followed on from a promising innings of 31 in his debut innings. [6]
In the third test, he broke his finger in his 1st innings dismissal but still went on to score an unbeaten half century batting, below his usual opening position, at number 8 in the second innings. [7] It was later announced he would miss the rest of the tour after flying home to have surgery on his finger. [8]
