Arsalan Qadir (born 15 September 1989) is a former international cricketer who played a single Twenty20 International match for the Canadian national team in 2010. He was born in Peshawar, Pakistan.
A Twenty20 International (T20I) is a form of cricket, played between two of the international members of the International Cricket Council (ICC), in which each team faces twenty overs. The matches have top-class status and are the highest T20 standard. The game is played under the rules of Twenty20 cricket. Starting from the format's inception in 2005, T20I status only applied to Full Members and some Associate Member teams. However, in April 2018, the ICC announced that it would grant T20I status to all its 105 members from 1 January 2019.
The Canada national cricket team is the team that represents the country of Canada in international cricket. The team is organised by Cricket Canada, which became an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 1968.
Peshawar is the capital of the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Situated in the broad Valley of Peshawar near the eastern end of the historic Khyber Pass, close to the border with Afghanistan, Peshawar's recorded history dates back to at least 539 BCE, making it the oldest city in Pakistan and one of the oldest cities in the world. Peshawar was the capital of the ancient Kushan Empire, and was home to what may have been the tallest building in the ancient world, the Kanishka stupa. Peshawar was then sacked by the White Huns, before the arrival of Muslim empires. The city was an important trading centre during the Mughal era before serving as the winter capital of the Afghan Durrani Empire from 1757 until the city was captured by the Sikh Empire in 1818, who were then followed by the British in 1849.
A right-arm pace bowler, Qadir played for the Canadian under-19s at the 2007 and 2009 editions of the Americas Under-19 Championship. [1] Against the Cayman Islands at the 2007 tournament, he took figures of 5/6, helping to dismiss the team for only 77. [2] At the 2009 Under-19 World Cup Qualifier, Qadir took 14 wickets from six matches, behind only Hiral Patel for Canada. [3] This included figures of 6/44 against the United States and 4/19 against Uganda. [1] Qadir was subsequently selected in Canada's squad for the 2010 Under-19 World Cup. However, at the tournament he managed only three wickets from his five games. [4] The month after the Under-19 World Cup, Qadir was selected in Canada's senior squad for the 2010 World Twenty20 Qualifier in the United Arab Emirates. He played only one game, a Twenty20 International against Kenya, and failed to take a wicket, conceding 12 runs from his only over. [5]
