Wasim Khan
Wasim Gulzar Khan MBE (born 26 February 1971) became the first Pakistani/Asian origin British to play professional cricket in England. He was a talented left-handed batsman who also bowled right arm medium pace. == Early life == His family originated from Kashmir and came to England in the 1960s with a dream of a better life. Khan was born in Birmingham, attended Somerville Primary school and then went onto Oldknow secondary school (later to become Small Heath School). At the age of 12 he displayed a remarkable passion and talent for cricket and it was through sheer luck that his talent was discovered in the playground by a cricket mad teacher, Pete Bolland. Later that year in 1983, he was selected for the Warwickshire Under 13's team where his potential as a leader was spotted very early, resulting in him being awarded the captaincy. Khan was the only state school boy in that team. His determination to succeed was evidenced by the fact that despite having never played hard ball cricket before, he top scored in his first year. Khan only had one dream and that was to make it at the highest grade and play professional cricket. As a young boy, he would find ways to get into Edgbaston to watch Warwickshire play and vowed to his friends that one day, he too would be out there.
