Zahid Saeed (born 5 July 1981) is a Pakistani former cricketer. Saeed was a right-handed batsman who bowled left-arm fast-medium. He was born in Alo Mahar, Punjab, and played domestic cricket in Pakistan for Sialkot, Gujranwala, National Bank of Pakistan and Pakistan Reserves.[1][2]
Saeed represented Pakistan Under-19s in both the 1998 Under-19 Cricket World Cup and the 2000 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. In the 2000 tournament he finished as the leading wicket-taker with 15 wickets. One of his best performances came against New Zealand Under-19s in the Super League, when he took 5 for 13 in a six-wicket win.[3][4]
He made his senior domestic debut in the 1997–98 season, and later became a regular left-arm seamer in Pakistan's domestic circuit.[1] One of his finest first-class performances came in the 2002–03 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, when he took 6 for 77 for National Bank against Faisalabad at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad.[5] In List A cricket, his best innings figures were 6 for 23.[1]
In 2002, Saeed was one of six Pakistan domestic cricketers fined by the Pakistan Cricket Board for ball tampering during the Ramadan Cup.[6] Two years later, he was among 22 probables called to a Pakistan training camp before the home series against India, although he did not make the final squad.[7]
Overall, Saeed played 75 first-class matches, taking 299 wickets at a bowling average of 24.54, with 14 five-wicket hauls and four ten-wicket matches. In 58 List A matches, he took 83 wickets at an average of 29.39, including two five-wicket hauls. As a lower-order batsman, he scored 880 first-class runs with three half-centuries.[1]
Later in his career, Saeed also played club cricket in England for Bromyard.[8][9] In 2018, he scored 110 for the club in a Worcestershire County League match against Kempsey.[10]
