He began his journey in the sport on the field, becoming the first British-born Muslim to play county cricket. He represented Warwickshire, Sussex, and Derbyshire in the 1990s. As a left-handed batter, he played 58 first-class and 30 List A matches. He was part of Warwickshire\u2019s County Championship-winning team in 1995 and had an impressive season, averaging close to 50.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After retiring, Wasim built an impressive administrative career. He served as CEO of Leicestershire County Cricket Club and the Cricket Foundation. He played a key role in turning the Chance to Shine initiative into one of the leading cricket development programs in the UK.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
