Nickname	Ata-ur-Rehman
DOB	28 March 1975

Ata-ur-Rehman emerged as the pick of the new Pakistan pace-bowling generation, recruited to provide strength and support to the Wasim-Waqar combination. He made his debut in England in 1992 at the age of 17, and impressed in his first appearance, even when Wasim and Waqar were the talk of the tour. He was also among the wickets on subsequent tours to the West Indies and New Zealand. Tall and well-built, he had the characteristics of a genuine right-arm fast bowler. A good maintainer of line and length, and an excellent mover of the old ball, he could play both a containing and an attacking role in the middle of a limited-overs innings. His career ended in controversy with his involvement in the match-fixing scandal, and he was banned for life in 2000, although he was freed by the ICC to return in May 2007.
