Amjad Khan (American cricketer)

Last updated

"Fastest century in US cricket history". [3] in the final of the Eastern American Cricket Association's Twenty/20 Blitz. Playing the final at Baisley Pond Park, in Richmond Hill, New York, Khan scored his century against Richmond Hill CC and it took him just 56 balls to reach the hundred that included 9 fours and 7 sixes.

He was selected to play for the United States in the 2000/01 Red Stripe Bowl. The matches in this competition had List A status, as such his List A debut came against Jamaica. He played three further List A matches in the tournament, the last of which came against Trinidad and Tobago. [4] In his four List A matches for the United States, Khan scored 61 runs at an average of 15.25, with a high score of 36. [5] He took a single wicket with the ball at a bowling average of 50 and best figures of 1/45. [6] His final match for the United States came in a Man of the Match performance in the 2002 ICC Americas Championship against Bermuda that was played in Buenos Aires, Argentina. [7]

Khan never played for the USA again and paid the price for his outspoken and open criticism of the current United States of America Cricket Association administration, led by Gladstone Dainty. In January 2010, he again criticised the United States of America Cricket Association and its president Gladstone Dainty on cricket website Cricinfo. [8]

Khan currently lives in Dubai, where he works for Microsoft. [9] Amjad continues to represent the United States in the Masters Cricket tournaments
