Saqlain Mushtaq born (29th December 1976) is a trend setter and emembered in the history of cricket perhaps as the first off spinner to master the doosra, a delivery that spins away from the batsman even though it is delivered with an off spinner’s action. Saqlain is a former Pakistan spinner and now England’s spin bowling consultant. He has a fast, short-stepping action with a halting delivery, and has a propensity to bowl no-balls, unusually for a bowler with such a short run. He is criticized for attempting too much variation and he often throws in the doosra the first time a batsman faces. Saqlain’s international career got off to a splendid start – he was the fastest bowler to 100 one-day wickets, and his phenomenal control meant that he regularly bowled at the death. But his finest moment arguably came in a Test match, at Chennai in 1998-99, when his ten-for allowed Pakistan to sneak nerve-tingling 12-run win against India. However, his career was given a lifeline in 2007 when he joined Mushtaq Ahmed at Sussex and signed a contract with Indian Cricket League. Saqlain Mushtaq has also worked with England, New Zealand, and West Indies as a spin bowling coach.
