[3] He played first-class and List A cricket for Oxford University and British Universities during the early part of the 1996 season and,according to Wisden Cricketers' Almanack ,made a significant impact. "Gul Khan... revealed himself as a natural strokeplayer,and his arrival injected much adventure into the middle order. After several near-misses,he fashioned a maiden first-class century against Kent at Canterbury,which followed a brilliant 147 for the British Universities against Glamorgan in the Benson and Hedges Cup." [2] He was awarded his Blue by appearing in the 1996 University Match against Cambridge University. [4] At the end of the university season in mid-summer,he joined Derbyshire.
