Jalal-ud-din (born 12 June 1959) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played in six Test matches and eight One Day Internationals from 1982 to 1985.
Cricket career[edit]
A specialist right-arm pace bowler, he was the first player to take a hat-trick in ODI cricket. He did so while playing against Australia at Niaz Stadium, Hyderabad on 20 September 1982.[1][2][3]
Coaching career[edit]
He is now a coach, and is the only Pakistani Test cricketer who has the accreditation as both an ECB and PCB level 3 coach.[4][5][6] As of February 2021, he was a level 4 coach.[7]
In January 2018, he was appointed chief selector to the Pakistan women's team.[8] In March 2019, former Pakistan women's team captain Urooj Mumtaz replaced him in the position.[9]
In October 2020, he was appointed as USA’s national selector for the South-West Zone, responsible for selecting the men's seniors and youth teams.[10]
Cricket academies[edit]
Considered a pioneer of "cricket academies concept" in Pakistan, Jalal established the Customs Cricket Academy (CCA) in 1999, and the Vital Five Cricket Academy (VFCA) in 2009, both located in Karachi.[11]
In August 2009, the Korangi Town administration launched another of his cricket academies, the Jalaluddin Cricket Academy (JCA), located in Karachi's Zaman Town.[12] Aiming to nurture talent at grassroots level, it offers free coaching through highly trained professionals to under-privileged local cricketers.[13]
