Cricketers XI with their birthday on 14 October

#5 Rashid Latif

Latif was a controversial character both on and off the field

Former Pakistani wicket-keeper batsman Rashid Latif was born on 14 October 1968 in the Pakistani city of Karachi. Latif represented his country over a period of 11 years and played a total of 37 Tests and 166 ODIs during his career and has a Test century to his name.

More than his talent on the cricket field, the now 48-year old is remembered for the controversies that he got involved in. One of the incidents saw Rashid Latif guilty of claiming an unfair catch during a series in Bangladesh for which he received a 5-match ban.

Latif is also among the first few players to have made claims of match-fixing taking place in cricket.
