Aizaz Cheema

Aizaz Cheema had to wait until he was 31 to be called up to the Pakistan side. A strong first-class season in which he took 57 wickets in eight games in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy resulted in his selection for the tour of Zimbabwe in 2011. He took no time at all to make an impact though, picking up eight wickets in his debut Test against Zimbabwe, including two on his 32nd birthday, as Pakistan coasted to a seven-wicket win. Cheema's figures of 8 for 103 were the second best by a Pakistan debutant.
