Haroon Rasheed (3 July 1962 – 8 February 2021) was a Pakistani cricketer. Rasheed was a right-handed batsman who bowled leg break googly. He was born in Lahore, Punjab, and played domestic cricket in Pakistan for Lahore and Pakistan Railways.[1][2]
Rasheed was educated at Government Arif High School and later at Islamia College, Civil Lines, Lahore. While playing college cricket, he scored a century in an inter-collegiate final as Islamia College completed a chase in excess of 400 runs. He later represented Lahore City A in the 1980–81 National Under-19 Championship and impressed sufficiently to earn his first-class debut for Lahore City in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.[2]
A few months after his first-class debut, Rasheed took 6 for 56 for BCCP Patron's XI against the touring Australia Under-19 side at Pindi Club Ground. He then claimed seven wickets in the second youth "Mini Test" at Hyderabad, helping Pakistan Under-19 to an innings victory.[2]
Rasheed's first five-wicket haul in first-class cricket came for Lahore City against Zone C in the 1985–86 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.[2] In the following season, captaining Lahore City Whites in the 1986–87 BCCP President's Cup, he recorded his career-best bowling figures of 5 for 54 against Public Works Department at the Lahore City Cricket Association Ground.[3] He followed that with figures of 5 for 115 against ADBP at Railways Stadium, Lahore.[2]
His only first-class fifty came in the 1987–88 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, when he scored 51 batting at number ten against HBFC at Bagh-e-Jinnah, Lahore.[2]
After his first-class career, Rasheed continued to play club cricket with Shining Cricket Club and briefly represented Servis Industries. He later worked as a coach at Garrison School, Lahore, at Shafqat Rana Academy, and eventually at Aitchison College, Lahore.[2]
Rasheed died in Lahore on 8 February 2021, aged 58.[2]
