Ajmal Shahzad plays for Yorkshire
HISTORY was made at Headingley when 18 year old Ajmal Shahzad became the first Yorkshire born player from an ethnic background to play for the county.
.Ajmal has been at Yorkshire three years, two of them at the Academy and this season he is with the second team. He did know he was playing until Sunday morning when skipper Craig White told him. White said: "He has massive potential and hopefully he will take it." On Saturday Ajmal played for the Yorkshire Academy against Sheffield Collegiate in the Yorkshire League and took five wickets for 20 in eleven overs.
While Director of Operations at Yorkshire Geoff Cope said: "Cricket is about taking opportunities and chances, today we will see if he can make the leap and he will see that there is a difference between first team and Academy cricket.
After his debut Ajmal said: "I was chuffed to bits, I've been working hard and OI have just got to keep performing." Ajmal hopes that he will be the first many players from an ethnic background to play for the Tykes. "There are plenty waiting and I just happen to be the first. I reckon there will be more Asians who will say 'if he can make it why can't we'."
Ajmal comes from a cricketing background. His dad used to play in the Bradford League but Ajmal does not know if his dad saw his big day. "I couldn't let him know because we are not allowed to have telephone on in the dressing room but if he missed it he would be gutted
The youngster was even given the opportunity to share the new ball with Tim Bresnan but his first ball went for a wide. "After my first over I settled down and just bowled line and length."
How did he feel when he walked out on to the famous Headingley pitch? "The rest of the players told y just to enjoy it but I tried not to look up but the crowd were behind me. Once the ball beats the inner field it goes for four" Last winter Ajmal played for England under 19's in Denmark and Holland and scored a century on his debut.
On the playing side Ajmal bowled six overs which cost him 35 runs and batting at number ten he scored five as Yorkshire Phoenix lost to Worcester Royals by 39 runs.
