Player: | Saqlain Mushtaq |
DateLine: 13th February 2006
Ireland bolstered their squad for the revamped C&G Trophy on Monday by signing former Pakistani Test star Saqlain Mushtaq.
 
The 29-year-old spin wizard will be joined by another as yet unnamed Pakistani Test player for the one day competition, which will be played under a league format this year. 
Saqlain, whose county career at Surrey ended after eight years in 2005 following a knee operation, played 49 Test matches and 169 one-day internationals, including two World Cups. 
His career in one-dayers for Pakistan lasted a decade from 1995, and he took 288 wickets. 
The right-arm off-break bowler had his finest season in 2003 when he was the fastest bowler to reach 100 one-day wickets. 
He also belongs to an elite category of spin bowlers who have claimed hat-tricks in one-day cricket on not one, but two occasions - both against Zimbabwe.(Article: Copyright © 2006 AFP)
