Hasan Raza (Sindh cricketer)
Hasan Raza (Urdu: حسن رضا; born 11 March 1982) is a Pakistani former cricketer who played for the Pakistan national cricket team between 1996 and 2005. He initially was subject to something of a claim for an international cricketing record, as his debut performance was believed to have taken place at the age of 14 years and 233 days, then a world-record, sparking investigations over the legitimacy of his age claims. He was soon taken away from international play after struggling initially in the early 2000s, but was recalled against Australia and Zimbabwe in 2004 . Hasan also captained the Pakistan side in early 2007 to Abu Dhabi in a tournament that consisted of India A, Sri Lanka A, UAE, Kenya, and the Netherlands. Pakistan A reached the final of the tournament where they faced off against rivals India. Hasan scored 105 not out. Pakistan went on to win the tournament and he was credited for his captaincy. He had a very good tournament as a captain and he also had a very good performance with the bat as well as other Pakistan A players like Bazid Khan and Taufeeq Umar. Hasan has been a talking  point lately in the Pakistan selection committee but has yet to make a comeback. Hasan currently plays domestic Pakistan cricket and also plays in the current Pakistan A team. Hasan was replaced as captain by Bazid Khan for disciplinary reasons. Hasan had always been a prolific run scorer in Pakistan's domestic cricket but had always been overlooked by selectors because he could not translate his domestic success to the international stage. Frustrated with the PCB, Hasan made a decision that has seemingly ended all hopes of his return to international cricket as he joined the unofficial Indian Cricket League  (ICL). In his first season with the ICL he was the leading run scorer. Education. He was educated at the St. Patrick's High School, Karachi. Fixing allegations. Hasan Raza was linked by Al Jazeera on the match fixing controversy through tampering the Galle pitch along with Robin Morris and Tharindu Mendis.
