Farhat (born 20 May 1982 ) is a Pakistani cricketer who has played over 30 Tests and One Day Internationals
for Pakistan,
opening the batting in most of his international innings. Amongst together with
three other players who went on to play Test cricket (Taufeeq Umar, Bazid Khan and Kamran Akmal). Three years later, in February
2001, Farhat made his One Day International
debut, against New Zealand
in Auckland, scoring 20 runs in a chase of 150 to
win. After the tour of New Zealand, where Farhat played three Tests and three
ODIs, he was sent back to domestic cricket before returning against Australia
in the third Test of the 2002–03 series, where he made 30 and 22 in an innings
defeat. However, he was retained for the home two-Test series against South
Africa in 2003–04,
where he scored 235 runs including a maiden Test century in a 1–0 series win,
second behind fellow opener Taufeeq Umar.
A month later,
Farhat played in an ODI-only series against New Zealand, which Pakistan won
5–0, and Farhat made three fifties along with his second international century,
ending with 348 runs at a batting average of
69.60, once again the second-highest amount of runs – this time behind Yasir Hameed. The season was rounded off with
another century, this time against India,
where he made 101 to help Pakistan gain a 202-run first-innings lead and
eventually won the match by nine wickets. However, Farhat tallied 81 runs in
the other two matches, which Pakistan lost to lose the series 1–2.
the selectors

'parchi'.
Career
Farhat made his
senior debut aged 15 in a one-day match for Karachi City against Malaysia,
of the series
with Australia. In September 2004, just before the 2004–2005 season, he had been
dropped from the ODI side following the 2004 Champions
Trophy, as he had failed to pass 40 with any of his last ten
innings, and that included 38 not out against the
non-Test nation of Kenya,
20 against ODI debutants Hong Kong and 24 against Bangladesh.
He continued to
score heavily in the domestic competitions and a century in a practise game
against the visiting Indian team was rewarded with a place in the squad to take
on India in the Test series (2006). He returned to Test cricket in style, with
an important half century in the deciding third Test at Karachi. He scored a
brilliant unbeaten century in the final test against New Zealand
in 2009. His brother Humayun Farhat has also
played International cricket for Pakistan.
