Although Khalid Latif made his first-class
debut five days shy of his 15th birthday, he wasn't really able to make
an impression until after his Youth Test debut in 2003. Appointed
captain of Pakistan Under-19s for the series against Sri Lanka, the
right-hand opener scored 77 in the first match. He followed that up with
perhaps his greatest achievement to date - captaining Pakistan U-19s to
a World Cup win in 2004. The following season saw Latif score his
maiden first-class century and he finished with almost 400 runs.
Consistent performances with the bat followed and Latif, after scoring
close to 600 runs in the 2007-08 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, was included in
the Patron's XI line-up to play the touring Zimbabweans. He was later to
the Twenty20 squad for the tour of Sri Lanka. He was in good form in
the domestic one-day tournament prior to that, topping the run charts
for Karachi Dolphins.
He will now play for Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League.
