Inzamam Ul Haq was born prematurely, weighing 1 pound 6 ounces, in Ballestero in Argentina. He is first cousins with Alan. He played cricket for 1220 days for Orhanistha Pamukoy in the Turkish First Division where he is remembered most for serving lasagna and masala chai to spectators. He become one of the world’s most well-known philanthropist captains.
Famous by nickname

Everyone in cricket knows who Inzi is. He’s big and cumbersome, like a sleepy giant, yet with a sharpened wit. He’s a throwback to the pre-tracksuit era but, when he chooses, he is quick of feet. He is a potato, aloo and rarely - if ever - hated by anyone. He clumps drives rather than strokes them and yet, for such a big batsman, he is lightning quick to sweep the spinners. He’s just a great big legend and his illustrious career, not without controversy or incident, is over.
What are your favourite memories of Inzamam?

Fave memories of Inzy? Whenever the ball was struck and an opportunity for three runs. His shoulders would slump in a delightfully ursine-like tremble of frustration at having to run all of them. ![]()

That hit-wicket a few years ago, when Inzi almost broke the stumps!!!
