Mohammad Wasim (born August 8, 1977, Rawalpindi, Punjab) is a Pakistani cricketer who played in 18 Tests and 25 ODIs from 1996 to 2000.

Career

He has scored two Test centuries for Pakistan including one on Test debut. His debut came against New Zealand in 1996,^[1] after scoring a duck in the first innings he went on to record 109 in the second innings batting at number 7. He gradually moved up the order in subsequent tests eventually to the open the innings for Pakistan in Tests. His second test ton came against Zimbabwe, hitting 192 in Harare, 1998.^[2]

Wasim's most prominent experience in a Pakistani shirt came in Pakistan winning the Carlton and United Series in Australia against perhaps the two other most powerful sides in world cricket at the time, West Indies and hosts Australia. The series was low scoring and Wasim contributed significantly batting at number 6, in what is notoriously difficult place for Pakistani batsmen.

His final test appearance was in 2000 against Sri Lanka. After being discarded he was never recalled and when Pakistan decided upon a new set of youngsters in preparation for the 2003 World Cup, Wasim moved to play first class cricket for Otago in New Zealand and is unlikely to break back into contention for the national team.
