Junaid Zia

Junaid Zia (born December 11, 1983 in Lahore) is a Pakistani cricketer who has played List A cricket for the Pakistan national cricket team.^[1] He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.

The son of the Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Tauqir Zia, he was first integrated into the Pakistani squad at the World Cup Under-19 tournament in 2002. Zia was initially brought to the public's attention for all the wrong reasons,^{[clarification needed]} as his bowling action was considered by Asoka de Silva to be somewhat suspect. Having honed his bowling skill he made his first international match in 2003-04 against Bangladesh.

He has received praise for his levels of fitness by Aamer Sohail, the Pakistani selector. Zia joined the HBL^{[clarification needed]} camp held in November 1998. Junaid further said, "that was the era of fast bowlers. Unfortunately none of the players from the camp could make it to the international level. I still remember there was a young talented fast bowler from Garrison Academy named Shahrukh who was yard faster than me".
