Step back into the classic era of cricket, where fierce rivalries, raw talent, and unfulfilled potential often wrote the most emotional chapters of the game. In this video, we revisit the short but memorable international journey of Naveed Anjum, a cricketer from Pakistan who made his Test debut against India during the 2nd Test at Faisalabad in 1989.
With expectations high, Naveed Anjum bowled his heart out in his very first outing, returning impressive figures of 2 for 57 from 29 overs, including 6 maidens — a gritty and composed effort on debut. His calmness with the bat was evident too, as he scored 12 runs off 15 balls, peppering his innings with 2 fine boundaries in a 22-minute stay.
Despite a strong domestic record and flashes of potential, Naveed Anjum's international career never truly took off. Was he a victim of stiff competition in a star-studded Pakistani lineup? Or did he simply not get enough time to prove his worth?
We look back at his stats, performances, and contributions across Tests, ODIs, First-Class, and List A cricket to uncover whether cricket history has been unfair to this forgotten name.
