Huddersfield-born, Bradford-raised, Ajmal Shahzad made cricket history on May 23, 2004 when he became the first British-born Asian to play for Yorkshire. A right-arm fast bowler and useful late middle-order batsman, he won plaudits for his displays at schoolboy level and for Yorkshire's Academy. Graham Roope, his coach, said that he was "far too mature for most schoolboy opponents of his age, and he can bat very well in addition to being a fearsome bowler." Despite a couple of slow seasons, there are still high hopes for him around Headingley although he only made one appearance for Yorkshire in the 2006 season.
