Nasir Jamshed, Cricketers is famous for Cricket, Pakistani celebrity. Born on 6 December, 1989
Nasir Jamshed is a Pakistani cricketer. He is an attacking left-handed opening batsman.
CareerJamshed made his first class début at the age of just 15 and was soon selected to the Pakistan Under-19 cricket team for a series against Sri Lanka, making 204 in the second innings on his début.
In the 2007–08 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy series he scored over 800 runs and earned selection in the Patron's XI side to play Zimbabwe. He made 182 runs and within a week was playing ODI cricket for Pakistan. In his debut against the Zimbabweans he opened the batting and smashed 61 off just 48 deliveries which saw him win the Man of the Match award. In his second ODI, he hit 74 off 64 balls, becoming only third Pakistani to make consecutive half centuries in first and second matches.
In Asia Cup 2008, Jamshed hit two 50's in the two matches he played. Against India at Karachi, he scored 53 until he was retired hurt. In the next game against Bangladesh, he scored a quick fire 52* at Karachi which set up an unbeaten 116 runs opening stand with Salman Butt which saw Pakistan home with more than 30 overs still to play. From these performances, he has really strengthened his position as an opener in the Pakistani ODI squad. During the Asia Cup 2008 Jamshed's fitness was questioned by the commentators and he visibly seemed over weight. This lack of fitness also lead him to miss the following Twenty20 tournament in Canada, and a 3 match ODI series against the West Indies. His exclusion from the national team continued in January 2009 when he was passed over for Khurram Manzoor during the Sri Lanka ODI series.
ControversyOn 4 April 2010, Jamshed was jailed on cheating in tenth grade examinations of English. On 27 February 2012, Jamshed is said to be linked in spot fixing in BPL and he is under investigation. It was learnt that Sajid Khan, a Pakistan national, was put on a two-day remand on 26 February 2012 for questioning in his alleged involvement with match-fixing in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20 tournament. Sajid's mobile phone was seized where bank account number of Nasir Jamshed and e-mail address of Navedul Hasan were found.
