In Tests, he has a better batting average against Sri Lanka and South Africa than other nations. His bowling action has come under scrutiny (particularly his doosra) but he has had elbow surgery to correct this. He has taken over 100 ODI wickets at an average under 35 and economy rate below 4.5. As is required of most modern players he also has displayed good defensive batting at times. His most brazen display of \"power hitting\" came in 2003 against South Africa when he scored 82 from 41 balls. He has a strike rate of 77.23 runs per 100 balls, which compares favourably to players such as Rahul Dravid and Inzamam ul-Haq. He is capable of hitting big shots but is also capable of rotating the strike with good placement. He started his career as just an off spinner, and is now regarded as a useful bowling all-rounder with a batting average in the mid 30s in both Test and ODI cricket. He made his One-Day International debut in 1999 against the West Indies and his Test debut in 2001 against Bangladesh. Shoaib Malik (born 1 February 1982 in Sialkot) is a Pakistan cricketer. His brother Humayun Farhat has also played International cricket for pakistan He returned to Test cricket in style, with an important half century in the deciding third Test at Karachi.

He continued to score heavily in the domestic competitions and a century in a practise game against the visiting Indian team was rewarded with a place in the squad to take on India in the Test series (2006). In September 2004, just before the 2004–2005 season, he had been dropped from the ODI side following the 2004 Champions Trophy, as he had failed to pass 40 with any of his last ten innings, and that included 38 not out against the non-Test nation of Kenya, 20 against ODI debutants Hong Kong and 24 against bottom-ranked Bangladesh. Farhat was less impressive the following season, however, and in four Tests, two against Sri Lanka and two against Australia, he only passed fifty twice, ending the season with 199 runs at 24.87 before the selectors left him out for the third Test of the series with Australia. However, Farhat tallied 81 runs in the other two matches, which Pakistan lost to lose the series 1–2. The season was rounded off with another century, this time against India, where he made 101 to help Pakistan gain a 202-run first-innings lead and eventually won the match by nine wickets. A month later, Farhat played in an ODI-only series against New Zealand, which Pakistan won 5–0, and Farhat made three fifties along with his second international century, ending with 348 runs at a batting average of 69.60, once again the second-highest amount of runs - this time behind Yasir Hameed. However, he was retained for the home two-Test series against South Africa in 2003–04, where he scored 235 runs including a maiden Test century in a 1–0 series win, second behind fellow opener Taufeeq Umar. After the tour of New Zealand, where Farhat played three Tests and three ODIs, he was sent back to domestic cricket before returning against Australia in the third Test of the 2002–03 series, where he made 29 and 18 in an innings defeat. Three years later, in February 2001, Farhat made his One Day International debut, against New Zealand in Auckland, scoring five runs in a chase of 150 to win. A fine player of the drives either side of the wicket Farhat made his senior debut aged 15 in a one-day match for Lahore City against Malaysia, together with three other players who went on to play Test cricket (Taufeeq Umar, Bazid Khan and Kamran Akmal). However, he has the tendency to fall for one too many. When in form, Farhat is an excellent player of the pull shot. Imran Farhat (born in Lahore) is a Pakistani cricketer who has played 20 Tests and 26 One Day Internationals for Pakistan, opening the batting in 47 of his 49 international innings.
