Nazir had a promising start to his career, scoring a century in only his second Test match and playing some memorable innings in limited-overs cricket. He played in the 2003 and 2007 World Cups, where he made valuable contributions to Pakistan’s campaign.
However, Nazir’s career was plagued by inconsistency and a lack of discipline. He was dropped from the team on several occasions and struggled with form and fitness issues. In addition, he was involved in a number of controversies, including being banned from playing domestic cricket for a period due to disciplinary issues.
Nazir’s last international appearance came in a T20 match against Sri Lanka in 2012. He has since been out of the national team and has not played any competitive cricket at the highest level.
