利雅士

English

Niaz Ali is a Hong Kong cricketer born in Pakistan on 26 December 1992. A left-handed batter who bowls left-arm medium-fast, he is used mainly as a bowler and has played his club cricket for sides including Kowloon Cricket Club, the Kowloon Lions and the Hong Kong Islanders. He has represented Hong Kong internationally since 2015 and was selected for the Hong Kong, China men's squad at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou. Because the Asian Games carry particular eligibility requirements, he was, along with Akbar Khan, Muhammad Khan and the then 16-year-old Shiv Mathur, seen as a candidate to make his Twenty20 international debut during the tournament. His left-arm medium-fast bowling gives Hong Kong a middle-overs option, and he has also been a long-serving player in local league cricket. In 2024 he was still representing Hong Kong at international level, including in One-Day Internationals, and he has also returned to Hangzhou to play in the China Cricket League held there. As most published material concerns his playing record, details of his background and club career are relatively limited.
