Inzamam-ul-Haq ( pronunciation ;Punjabi, Urdu: انضمام الحق‎; born 3 March 1970), also known as Inzy, is a former Pakistani cricketer, and former captain. The leading run scorer for Pakistan in one-day internationals, and the third-highest run scorer for Pakistan in Test cricket, after Younis Khan and Javed Miandad, Inzamam is considered one of all time legends of world cricket. He was the captain of the Pakistan national cricket team from 2003–07 and is considered to be one of the best leaders in Pakistan Cricket history. Inzamam currently serves as the chief selector of Pakistan cricket team.

Inzamam rose to fame in the semi-final of the 1992 Cricket World Cup. He remained one of the team's leading batsmen throughout the decade in both Test and ODI cricket. In 2003, he was appointed captain of the team. His tenure as captain ended after Pakistan's early exit from the 2007 Cricket World Cup. Inzamam retired from international cricket in 2007, following the second Test match against South Africa, falling three runs short of Javed Miandad as Pakistan's leading run scorer in Test cricket at the time. Following his retirement, he joined the Indian Cricket League, captaining the Hyderabad Heroes in the inaugural edition of the Twenty20 competition. In the ICL's second edition, he captained the Lahore Badshahs, a team composed entirely of Pakistani cricketers.
