Zafar Gohar

Zafar Gohar is a Pakistani all-rounder who has established himself as a reliable performer in Test cricket, particularly with his left-arm orthodox spin bowling. Making his international debut in the longer format, Gohar has proven to be a valuable asset with both bat and ball, accumulating over 1,600 runs and claiming 156 wickets across 48 Test matches. His bowling average of 32.83 in Tests demonstrates his effectiveness as a frontline spinner, while his batting contributions have often provided crucial lower-order support. Gohar's limited-overs career has been more modest, with sporadic appearances in T20 internationals where he has taken 21 wickets in 23 matches. His bowling style and variations make him particularly effective in the longer format, where he has had more opportunities to build pressure and extract turn from subcontinental pitches. Known for his accuracy and ability to tie down batsmen, Gohar represents the traditional Pakistani spinning all-rounder mold, contributing valuable overs with the ball while providing depth to the batting lineup with his middle-order capabilities.
