Babar Hayat (born 5 January 1992) is a Pakistani-born Hong Kong cricketer, who plays for the Hong Kong cricket team. He is a right-handed batsman and a former captain of the national team.

International career

[edit]

Babar made his T20I cricket completion debut against Nepal on 16 March 2014. In his debut match he made only 20 runs from 25 balls.[1] He made his One Day International debut against Afghanistan in the 2014 ACC Premier League on 1 May 2014.[2] In the 2016 Asia Cup Qualifier in February 2016, he became the first Hong Kong player to score a century in a T20I match.[3]

Babar Hayat set the record for the highest ever T20I score by any player in the second innings of a T20I (122) and second in the list for scoring the highest ever T20I score in a losing cause just behind Australia's Shane Watson's 124*. Babar Hayat's 122 was also the highest ever score in T20I in the 2nd innings of a T20I in a losing cause.[4] Babar Hayat's 122 was in second place for the highest percentage of runs in a completed innings of a team, where his team scored only 175/7 in that innings.[5]

On 16 February 2017 in the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship match against the Netherlands, he and Anshuman Rath made 197 runs for the third wicket. This was a List A record for Hong Kong and a record for any wicket in a World Cricket League match.[6]

In December 2017, he became the first batsman for Hong Kong to score a double century in first-class cricket, when he made 214 not out against Papua New Guinea in the 2015–17 ICC Intercontinental Cup.[7]

In August 2018, he was named the captain of Hong Kong's squad for the 2018 Asia Cup Qualifier tournament.[8] However, prior to the tournament, Hayat stepped down as captain,[9] with Anshuman Rath replacing him.[10] Hong Kong won the qualifier tournament, and he was then named in Hong Kong's squad for the 2018 Asia Cup.[11]

In December 2018, he was named in Hong Kong's team for the 2018 ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup.[12] He was the leading run-scorer for Hong Kong in the tournament, with 136 runs in three matches.[13] In April 2019, he was named in Hong Kong's squad for the 2019 ICC World Cricket League Division Two tournament in Namibia.[14]

In September 2019, he was named in Hong Kong's squad for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier tournament in the United Arab Emirates.[15] However, ahead of the 2019–20 Oman Pentangular Series, Hayat declared that he was no longer available to play for Hong Kong.[16]

However, in May 2022, he was named in Hong Kong's side for the 2022 Uganda Cricket World Cup Challenge League B tournament.[17]

T20 franchise career

[edit]

On 3 June 2019, he was selected to play for the Vancouver Knights in the players' draft for the inaugural edition of the Global T20 Canada tournament.[18][19] In June 2019, he was selected to play for the Brampton Wolves franchise team in the 2019 Global T20 Canada tournament.[20]
