Mukhtar Ahmed (cricketer, born 1992)


Mukhtar Ahmed is a Pakistani cricketer, who plays for Twenty20 Internationals for Pakistan and domestic cricket for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Fighters and Sialkot Stallions.

Domestic career

He was the leading run-scorer for Rawalpindi in the 2018–19 Quaid-e-Azam One Day Cup, with 434 runs in seven matches.

International career

He made his Twenty20 International debut for Pakistan against Bangladesh on 24 April 2015. His first T20 international fifty came in his second match against Zimbabwe in Lahore on 22 May 2015. For this innings he was named man of the match. Two days later in the second match of two in the series, he once again scored a fifty and was named man of the match, and finally won the player of the series award as well.
The hard hitting ability and match winning performances in the Zimbabwe series gained him a lot of attraction to include him to the Twenty20 International series against Sri Lanka in July 2015. But he showed poor performance in the 2-match series, where he got out in both matches below 10 runs. However, Pakistan won the two matches and won the series.
