nadeem malik

nadeem malik -lrb- born 6 october 1982 in nottingham -rrb- , known by his last two names , is an english cricketer , a right-arm fast-medium seam bowler and right-handed lower-order batsman .
after several appearances for the second team , malik made his list a debut with the nottinghamshire cricket board team at the age of 17 against gloucestershire cricket board in the 2000 natwest trophy , bowling six overs without reward .
that winter he toured india with england under-19s , though played in only two the final two unofficial `` odis '' .
malik made his full nottinghamshire debut in may 2001 , against durham in the benson & hedges cup , though he conceded 20 runs from the mere three overs he was allowed .
his first-class debut had to wait until the match against worcestershire in august , when he claimed a notable first wicket at this level in graeme hick .
after an injury-hit trip to new zealand for the 2002 under-19 world cup , he spent another two years at trent bridge , but in 2003 he became frustrated by the lack of first-team opportunities after playing just two first-team games all summer and signed for worcestershire at the end of the season , a move he had first considered a year before .
malik cited his admiration of then worcestershire coach tom moody as a reason for his choice .
malik 's worcestershire career got off to an excellent start , when after claiming 6 -- 41 in a minor match against cardiff ucce he marked his first-class debut for his new county with 5 -- 88 against kent , his first victim being test batsman rob key .
shortly afterwards , malik took 4 -- 42 in a totesport league game against sussex .
although he could not quite keep up this standard , malik finished the season with 24 first-class wickets at 32.54 and 19 in list a cricket , and although he missed worcestershire 's early games in 2005 , by june he was firmly established in the first team as the county 's fourth seamer .
however , in the next two seasons he struggled to maintain a first team place , even returning to nottinghamshire for a short-term loan spell , before in december 2007 , he signed a one-year deal with leicestershire .
malik did not bowl a ball in 2009 after suffering a number of injuries but he made his mark in 2010 , playing a key role in being the first change bowler once matthew hoggard and nathan buck had finished their opening bursts .
consequently he was given a new one-year deal , which was followed by another one-year deal and he will now be at grace road until at least the end of the 2012 season .
